Elements of Summer Fun (20 ideas)

This year we joined the crowd and made a summer bucket list!  

Inspired by this one I saw on pinterest and blogged about, we went with a geeky science theme.  Each summer fun event is listed on a post it note and designed to resemble (humor me) the periodic table of the elements.

Some of our activities include:

  2. Thank you for that sidewalk paint recipe and I definitely need to make a summer bucket list as well. There's only one more month of summer vacation for us and there's still so much for us to do.

  5. The sidewalk chalk looks like so much fun! I'm a total weirdo and hate the feeling of actualy chalk in my hands. Where is Google FC going!?

    1. As of July 1st, Google Friend Connect will be GONE. I was not happy about that. BUT BlogLovin is great. Come jump on the bandwagon. It took me like 30 seconds to set up my account, import all my fave blogs, and now I get one email a day with my feed in it.

  11. I so should have done this with Ema this year! Probably would have been awesome! Guess this just goes to show I was so not prepared for a summer at home :/ I've always worked and Ema been at a camp with me!
