Summer 2020

 Every summer we make a bucket list to keep us from being too lazy through those summer months. It's always nice to be able to look back on the list and easily remember all the fun we have had. 

I had been painting inside where the kids begged to help but I wasn't really ready for a whole painting crew inside yet. As a consolation I told them they could pick some colors and help me paint the swingset.

After we read the book, my sister put on a Harry Potter party for us where the kids got to watch the movie for the first time. It was magical for everyone! She even hand delivered invitations, had us go through platform 9 and 3/4 and got all the best HP treats. 

We had several nights that fell under the cousin sleepover category. The kids are still hoping for one giant sleepover with all the cousins. We will have to wait and see about that. 

A hotel was seeming a little iffy at the beginning of the summer but we made a quick trip to Branson for a short getaway and to knock a few things off the list.
