summer rituals

There are some things that a kid has to do EVERY summer. I don’t think he’s going to retain too many memories from this year, but I thought it was important that we start.

  • Neighbourhood BBQ with 30+ adults, and 10+ kids. The only injury was McKay, running full speed down a concrete driveway when another kid threw a bucket at his feet. *WHUMP*. Scab fell off yesterday. Glad it happened after school pictures.
  • Sleeping in the backyard in the tent. So far we’ve only had “snack” in the tent, but will work our way up to sleeping in it. Have to pick a weeknight when the bootleggers are quiet.
  • Walking in the rain and splashing in all the puddles.
  • Concerts in the park late Saturday nights.

What else do we need to make sure we do? Other non-location specific activities? (ie/ clamming ins’t going to happen in Atlanta).
