Summer will be here soon. What are your Summer plans? I have been working on things for Charlie to do and yesterday I was sent a paper home where Boy Scouts is hosting a Summer Camp. I’m thinking I will enroll Charlie in it.
Also Charlie may be able to attend a Church camp with his friend Kayden. If Kayden’s mom Kerry has the money to send Kayden. I wouldn’t want Charlie to go by himself.
Even with two camps it still leaves weeks when Charlie will be here and I need to work. I’ve been putting a Bucket List for Charlie, David and I to do together.
I thought you might be looking for new and unique things to do in the Summer as well. I’ve shared our Bucket list with you. If there are other things you would like to add to the list leave me a comment as it might be something Charlie would like to do as well.
- Make S’mores or Hot Dogs outside over a Fire pit.
- Go on a hike which could be be a Nature hike. Or hike around your town or neighborhood.
- Feed the ducks and look for Fish and Turtles in the water.
