Summer officially begins on Sunday, Father's Day. Keeping with tradition of last year's Summer Bucket List, I'm rolling into the new season with a new List. Some buckets on my list are repeats we enjoyed from last year. I'm excited to hang out with the family and cross some off our list!
1. Go to a Clippers Game.
2. Enjoy lunch, poolside.
3. Make pizza on the grill.
4. Eat dinner on the back porch during a thunderstorm. (Check - although it was quite a hectic adventure with "ass-hole burgers" as Steve called them, mulch throwing into the pool and on me, and crying/whining when rain hit Xavier on the head! We need a redo!)
5. Chase down the ice cream truck a few times.
6. Make lots of homemade Popsicles
7. Go on a bug hunt.
8. Patron a few lemonade stands in our neighborhood. These are just adorable!!
9. Play in the rain and stomp on puddles!
10. Complete Xavier's first Summer Reading Program at the library.
11. Water balloon fight - Mom and Xavier take on Dad!
12. Get lots of grass between our toes and dirt under our nails. Making memories outside is what childhood summers are all about!
13. Although it gets chaotic, soak up every single moment of summertime. Before we know it, it will be gone!
It's been a great month of June so far! Weekends are filling up quickly with activities and Xavier is definitely enjoying all the things summer has to offer!
A quick update on Xavier - today, he turned 22 months old (almost time to stop counting months!). He's fierce on the playground, swatting people out of his way so he can climb up the bridge to get to the slide! He's full of adventure and loves to point out a "pay" (plane), "sickle" (bicycle), "car", "burr" (bird), and "corr" (squirrel). His favorite thing in the world right now is soaking up the outdoors. He still calls me "uh-nee" (Honey) and is calling Steve "Mommy", "Daddy", and "eeee" (Steve).
Sending sunshine and summertime fun! XOXO
