Summer Bucket List Update
Here's how we're doing on our Summer Bucket List?
This past week we had VBS all week, which was so much fun. The kids were sad it was over. We also signed up for the Dickinson Summer Movie Vacation Series. It only cost us $8 per person for 8 weeks worth of movies. On Monday we saw Puss & Boots. The movie series is great for those really hot days.
We also went to Music with Mar. on Tuesday. It's a music and movement class for Preschoolers that uses music as a teaching tool. The cost is only $7 per family and is a national program. You'd be surprised, there could be a class location near you!
We also repeated a couple of things by going back to the Kansas City Zoo and Powell Gardens since we have family passes. And we also visited one of our favorite parks.
Whew! It was a busy, but fun week. This week we're going to try to add in Blueberry Picking and maybe Deanna Rose Farm.
