Summer Bucket List

We did a summer bucket list in 2019 and it was a lot of fun, so we decided to do it again this year. What I like about it most, is that it sometimes forces us to get out and do fun things, even when we feel like just staying home. Although, we did a lot of that too this summer. Summers are rough in Arizona and we are just now seeing the end of it and the days are getting nice again, we are all excited for fall!

The boys and I came up with some things we wanted to do this summer, wrote them down and hung them on our garage door as a daily reminder.

Playing in the rain! This was actually in Michigan and Finn still talks about this day. Fox didn't want to have anything to do with the rain.

Travel to Michigan and visit our friend Allison.

Making s'mores!

Making cookies

Ice Cream Date!

Play at Uptown Jungle

Go to Skyzone

Camping with friends...always a favorite!

Visit the aquarium.

Sleepover with a friend (with Jake at the Princess Resort).

Watch fireworks

Swim at night

Go to a water park

Indoor mini golfing

Have a water balloon fight

Have a game night (Finn was already sleeping).

Go to Legoland

Make cookies (again!)

Visit the Natural History Museum

Write cards to friends

Go to the movie theater (we saw Space Jam 2).

Have snow cones.

Go to the splash pad

Play at Kids Empire

Go to the beach

I think the only thing we didn't cross off the list was to have a "yes day". Fox decided that for his yes day, he wanted to go to the Great Wolf Lodge again, so I booked us a stay for a later date.

It was a fun-filled summer, but we are ready for pumpkin patches and Halloween fun!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do. Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

We took some family pictures this fall!

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house. He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
