Only 8 days left until Summer Vacation!!



My kiddos officially have 8 days left until they are out of school.


I have been busy searching for different activities to keep them occupied throughout the summer.  In summer past we have signed them up for several camps throughout the summer,  so I would hear a little less "I'm bored!"


This summer however they unanimously voted to forgo ALL camps except one..........Vacation Bible Study, which they absolutely LOVE!


Now, I'm left trying to plan other fun activities to do, both at home and away from home.  I had each of the kids write a summer bucket list (with no more than 10 items) of things that would like to do over their break. Here are somethings we've already set time aside for...


*We have planned a 5 day camping trip in mid-July with family.
* We will be visiting Alcatraz with Grandma so she can tell us all about her adventures growing up there while her father was a guard at the prison.
*We will be having a Minute-to-Win-It competition with friends.
*We'll have fun doing science experiments we've found on Pinterest.
*We will have a backyard camp-out with friends
*We'll be visiting Water World
*We will be visiting Six Flags Discovery Kingdom
*We will be baking some recipes from Pinterest
*We will visit the Russian River
*The girls and I will have a spa day
*My Hubby and The Boy will have a boys camping trip
*We'll visit the De Young Museum and do an art scavenger hunt

So, what are your summer plans?  Do you have any fun activities you could share?
