99 Days of Summer

...Vacation post coming soon...

I've seen this thing around the interwebs. Mostly, it's stay-at-home moms, but I see no reason why I can't do it myself. What they're doing is making a summer bucket list of great things to do with their kids. Since Evan's young and not in school, he doesn't have a "summer vacation" but I consider summer to be Memorial Day through Labor Day.

So, we'll be doing a 99 Days of Summer Bucket List and I'll put it in the sidebar to keep myself accountable.
