We always make one of these lists, and the summer slips by without it all happening, but half the fun is the planning, and the emptiness of those days stretched before us, full of promise.
One plan that is starting to percolate is a camping trip...to Lake George State Park. The kids got free tickets to the Six Flags theme park, from a school reading program. So the five youngest have free tickets. My older kids aren't amusement park kind of kids, they would rather just camp and hike. Paul has to be out of town (Louisiana) for a few different weeks this summer, so I can't count on him for this trip....anyway, I am trying to put it together for all the kids to go camping then just me, perhaps Kathryn, and the younger ones going from the camp to the amusement park.
Today...I am picking three kids up...very soon, so I have to get moving....shopping for food for the weekend, having fun with the girls..it is hot today, already 80 degrees, and getting hotter....

I'm so glad and so thankful to see you posting today, Della!! I was scared senseless when I read of the minivan involved in the fatal accident with a tractor-trailer there in upstate NY. Glad to hear you are okay and I love your list. I'm going to "pin" it and make it work for our summer needs here in Indiana.
I like your list. I am planning on picking strawberries in my own backyard this year. Maybe I should add "Make strawberry jam" to my list.
