We will do some crafts and play with friends, too. I suspect our library trips will be more frequent, too. Our kiddie pool and water table are still put away, but will be used soon. We're looking forward to a good summer!
(If you have any other non-stovetop ideas for creating food with kids, please share! We already bake some together, but I'm trying to figure out some new things to make that are very hands-on, while appropriate for a 2 and 4 year old.)

Fun summer plans! After reading your listing, I am thinking that I should really write out one as well...plans floating around in my head as 'good ideas' don't get done quite as well as ones on a written list :-)
Great list!
It sounds like y'all are going to have a fun summer!! I really need to make us a summer fun list. I have several things I hope to do, but a list would make sure I did them. :) I'm really hoping we can take the boys to a petting zoo, but that's probably the biggest "trip" I have planned.
We make Marshmallow Robots every summer...with big and little marshmallows, pretzels sticks, candy, etc.
Your list is great! You live near lots of great places to visit. I was thinking of planning a visit to NYC this summer, is the summer too hot to go though?
Oh, I like that list! Those are fun butterflies, too :)
WOAH - I'm impressed that you are going with the family to NYC!
We're going to Seattle in July. Our travel plans are kinda spread out throughout the year but we're looking forward to it. Hopefully Bookworm3 will cooperate. For that matter, hopefully ALL the bookworms will cooperate!
Looks like a fun list of plans you have there!
We made fruit pizza with a whole wheat crust over the weekend. It was wonderful!
Sounds like a fun summer. Great idea to go ahead and put everything on the calender now so the summer isn't gone before you know it. I think We need to try that. We usually just kind of try and plan as we go but then as you said, the summer just gets away from you.
I love your list!
I should clarify...the beach is just a day trip and NYC will be a weekend visit to some family members.
