We're not quite halfway done with our list, which was intended as more of a list of ideas than of must-dos. Which is good because time is flying by. Sure, there is a month to go til school, but half of that month will be filled with grandparent-fun, which won't necessarily align with the list (though, Pop, we hope you grill, and Gommie flies a kite!).
Top choices are asterisked**.
- **Fly a kite.
- Campout overnight downstairs.
- Have a pj read-a-thon.
- Fondue party.
- A night 'round the firepit singing and making s'mores.
- Play with one of our science kits.
- Work on woven placemats on loom.
- **Make paper beads.
- Play putt-putt golf.
- Go to a zoo.

Some, like berry picking, subsequent jam making, and Solstice fell by the wayside when the windows of opportunity passed. Or like concert-going or candle-making, just moved outside of our realm of possibilities. Still, it's been a great list and a good summer so far--and half of it is left!
