Summer Fun

I posted about this in the Summer Bucket List, but the more I read about kids being addicted/hooked on the devices the more I think I should do more for my kids.

This summer my friend and I want to get our kids outside more and away from their electronics (iphone, ipods, Kindle Fire, XBox, etc).  I also want to get my kids away from the tv and the internet.  Time to put outside back into summer like I had as a child.  I also want this summer to be about fun.  I want our children to look back and remember all we did when they were younger.  

Ethan will want to go to the library this summer.  I had Noah write down the top 3 things he wants to do this summer.  All 3 things has to do with his dad and him spending time together.

Back to my Summer Bucket List, I updated it with what we have done.

I have brought kites over the years, but we have not used them.  I recently brought 3 more kites because the ones I have are too young for my kids.
