It’s time for Part Two of our Summer! Missed Part one? Look HERE.
This summer we created a list of 18 things to do. I do this list so that we have something to do other than not melt in the Texas heat. We did not get to everything on the list, but here are the ones that we did!
10: Photo Scavenger Hunt
This was totally my fault, I never put it together!
11: Visit the Brazos Valley Children’s Museum 10 times.
This is one of our favorite places, it is indoors and air conditioned, and since we have a membership, it’s free! The plan was to go at least weekly, but we didn’t always make it. Then I found out our membership expired in July! We decided that we would not renew with Mr. Z starting full day kindergarten we would not use it as much as we did this last year. We did make it 7 times before our membership expired, plus a trip to the Houston Natural Science Museum and to San Antonio children’s museum the Dosuem.
12: Watch Fireworks
We decided to check out the fireworks at the George Bush Presidential Library this year. It was pretty good. Plus the show had a live orchestra playing during the firework display, so the timing was almost perfect. Mr. Z also enjoyed some fun bounce houses and slides before it got dark.
13: Go to the Physics Roadshow
This one was another one of, mom made a mistake. I wrote down the wrong date on the calendar, and we showed up to the library 2 weeks too late!
14: Sponge Water Fight
I got this idea off pinterest, and Mr. Z loved it! No need for water guns, plus it’s more fun.
15: Picnic at the park
Summer is not the time to have a picnic outside in Texas. It was always too hot, and I just couldn’t bring myself to force us to do it.
16: Go to the Chemistry Roadshow
This one we did make! I think all the fire and “Ooohh! Aaahhh!” factor they have built into the show makes it a favorite for all kids.
17: Visit Washington on the Brazos
This was another one, that we made plans but weather did not agree with us. Once we got rained out and twice it was over 100*.
18: Write Letters to Friends.
This one was a bust. We got all the stuff out a couple of times and then Mr. Z decided he didn’t want to do it, or Baby Hercules would wake up and need my attention and Mr. Z would not finish. I think I’ll save it for next year, it might have been too early to do it this summer.
Next week I’ll post about our Big Trip and about some of the summer dreams we got to do.
