Summer Kick-Off: Our Summer Bucket List

By Tiffany Rudd

Happy Summer! First, I need to apologize to my amazing sister for being MIA from the blog for the past little bit during our move. Her posts are the best though, so I'm sure none of you are complaining. :)

Now that we are settled in our home {or at least kinda...}, I'm excited to make this a super fun summer for my kiddos! This is our first summer in a few years where we haven't had a new baby, so I'm determined to pack it full of all the activities we've missed out on. Of course, we started off by creating a Summer Bucket List together! My kids are actually earning daily activities from the list by reading and working on their Summer Study Packets each morning. I'll post Cameron's 2nd Grade Summer Study Packet later in the week. It's only been a few days, but so far it is going great! :)
