Thirteen Fun Things We Did This Summer

August 13, 2009 by Tracey 9 Comments

While summer is not officially over for several weeks, it feels as though our summer is ending now since the girls are back in school next week. We have really enjoyed the past couple of months and did a good job of maintaining a schedule that had sufficient activities, yet allowed for plenty of lazy days at home.

Here are thirteen fun things we did this summer.

1. Vacationed as a family in the mountains of Tennessee

2. Had regular swimming dates with friends

3. Made numerous trips to the library

4. Attended two Vacation Bible Schools

5. Went through our summer learning program

6. Spent a family day at the beach

7. July 4th baseball game and fireworks

8. Traveled to spend a week with family

9. Visited a safari park

10. Spent a fun afternoon with cousins

11. Turned lunch time into indoor picnics on the floor

12. Had a couple of “water fun” days with a neighbor

13. Spent most of a morning in Barnes & Noble reading books

I hope your summer has been fun-filled as well!!

    Sounds like a fun summer. We moved, it took up a good chunk of summer, we are still unpacking. Thank goodness the summer started with a vacation to a few new states and a look at the Mississippi River.

    Wow, you had a busy Summer. I used to love Summer because of the library reading clubs and Vacation Bible School. The family trip always sounded fun until we were on it though — my dad always seemed to be trying to see how many states he could hit in 2 weeks. 😉

    Happy belated TT!
