Father's week
For father's day this year we did a week long "candy bar card" of sorts. The kids and I snuck a different treat (with a cheesy saying) into daddy's lunch everyday. It was exciting for the kids, and it took Scott until wed. to figure out what we were doing.
Then today we gave him these pictures in a frame!

the weekend
I'm not sure this is the smartest thing to encourage your children to do, but it sure was funny. We were all laughing pretty hard, especially Mitch who wanted to jump in and play with the big kids. Ethan had a hard time being gentle and Molly was like a little turtle that couldn't get up after being knocked down. This activity definitely needs parental supervision, but the kids loved it.

bucket list

Alphabet Bingo. Molly made that face EVERY time I called one of her letters

Finger painting.
which for Mitch was more like body painting 
Bubble wrap hopscotch
We learned that you have to wear socks to do this or the bubble wrap will stick to your feet.
We also picked Hide&Seek one day and on another we ran through the sprinklers.
Things still in our bucket: Make own bubbles, magnet fishing, ice block melting, backyard bowling, swimming pool, make frozen bananas, make a sandbox, slip-n-slide, glow-in-the-dark party (this one is for night of course), go on hike, take funny pictures, chalk city, marble races, sumo wrestling, game books (from $1 sec. @ target), make sidewalk paint, play dough, water balloon fight, library, make a bird house, make Popsicles, service day, grow grass heads, crazy paint day, balloon basketball, secret kindness day, make cookies, write letters, giant bubbles, make sponge bombs, have an easter egg hunt, icecream party, hot rocks art.
Majority of idea came from pinterest and grandpa kory.
I NEED more ideas!! Please tell me about any and all ideas you have for the summer because I think we will make it through these ones pretty quick.
