Summer Bucket List 2012

While you can't yet see the checks marking off the summer bucket list items, the kingdom's royals have been busily taking charge of their list and making good use of their summer! Many of our items have received checks, although there are still many more to go!

The kids are making unique choices as to what and when they want to do things, but fortunately, we're able to accommodate pretty much every request--or--at least redirect their interest so that it mirrors our own availability. For example, the kids had a trip to the Museum of Science on their summer bucket list, which we were gladly able to incorporate into SCIENCE week in homeschool. Their favorite parts were the aeronautical (rocket ship/planets), weather (complete with lightning show), and dinosaur exhibits.  Museum of Science: check!
