Summer To Do List

Sometime in the Spring I decided to make a "To Do" List of things to do and experiences I wanted to share with Reed over the coming months. Part of this came from not wanting to get bored at home while Jon was working long hours but I think I also wanted to make sure to make the most of these last few months with Reed as an only child. I've blogged about a lot of the things we've done but I thought I would post my list and a few pics from my Instagram account for those of you that don't follow me. We aren't done yet, but we have made a good dent in the things I wanted to do and have scheduled some of the remaining activities for the next month and a half.

Reed and Mom's Summer To Do List

 

Plant Pumpkins

Go to our local Frozen Yogurt Shop (they carry sorbet)

Spend the night in the mountains (planning a trip for Grandpa's Birthday)

Go to San Luis Obispo (we've been three times)

Play at the Beach (hoping to get over to the coast one more time)

Visit a Horse Ranch

Take Swim Lessons

Play in the Sprinklers (This was an impromptu, fully clothed session, but so fun)

 

Try out a new craft (sidewalk chalk)

 

Go Fishing (need to plan something with Tio)

Have Reed help make something for the Baby's Nursery (you'll have to wait to see)

Go to the Lake (need to plan a trip with Pepe and Nonna)

Check out the Library

 

Make a pie (don't know where I'll EVER be able to get really fresh fruit!!!)

Go to Cat Haven (need to plan something with Grandma)

Make Popsicles (watermelon/blueberry, yum!!!)

Visit the Zoo

Go to a Baseball Game (have tickets for next week)

Visit a Petting Zoo (did this at the Avila Barn)

 

The Type A person I am loves checking things off of a list so I've been really proactive in trying to get as many of these things accomplished. I've had a lot of fun doing most of these activities with Reed and think I'm going to make a list for the Fall/Winter. With a new baby I think it will really help motivate me to do "stuff" instead of staying home and hunkering down and it will be a good way to carve out some special moments with Reed during a time when he'll be encountering a lot of changes. Any suggestions?
