Summer List 2011

It's mid-summer and the weather has shifted from warm and beautiful to unbearably hot.  Mid-summer also means a shift in our schedule as the boys' camp is over this week.  I'm still contemplating taking a week off to spend it with them between our trips.

In the meantime, we've looked to this year's Summer List for inspiration.  Have you made a Summer List?  I wrote about the topic on Ohdeedoh here and here.  It's less of a to-do list and more of a list of ideas to inspire.  There are things we're not going to get to this summer, things that will spill into Fall.  But that's fine with me.
