Another summer, another Summer Fun List!
Our list got off to a bit of late start this year due to 2 reasons, mainly: 1) School JUST ended last week. It felt like we were in school forever this year! and 2) We just moved! (More on that later, I hope.) Of course, I added the latter to the list so we had something to check off straight away!
As in years past, our list includes old favorites we look forward to every summer and some new ideas, too. And just like every year, the items on our list are a mix of things to do, places to go, and goals to achieve. And of course, many things are free!
This year’s list a little more sparse than last year’s, though, because we’ve got a 3 year-old to add to the mix and, let’s face it, things are harder to manage with 2 kids instead of just one, and well, 3 year-olds are just harder to manage in general. The spacing on our list this year is also a little wonky because I was interrupted several times by said 3 year-old! We definitely are excited to introduce that crazy 3 year-old to our summer favorites, though!
We look forward to checking things off our list every year and it’s probably the most fun to-do list (with no pressure to complete it) ever! So excited to really kick off our summer this week!
What are your fun summer plans?

Ooh! I love your list! I’ll keep it as a reference for things to do when we visit family in the DC area

I may just adopt this as my own list! We live very close to Lee District Park and it might be our 2 year old’s favorite thing about our new home in VA.

So many great things on your list! We LOVE Wheaton Regional Park. Our son gets so excited to ride the train and likes to look at the horses on the carousel (we tried to get him to ride it once, but he got scared and kept saying “Horsie fall down!”)

I went through just a few weeks ago and reviewed your previous year lists for inspiration. We should plan a play date somewhere!
