Summer is nearly here! As I fill in the calendar and decide what to do with 3 kids, my job and the summer heat, summer break seems too long. But I know from experience, that once it gets going, the 13 weeks will fly by. So we are sure to take advantage of the time off from school, the kids and I are putting together a summer bucket list.
