As soon as I finished writing this list, I immediately wanted to print, laminate, and put it on the fridge to start chipping away at these ideas.

Some are simple... (“Make homemade slushies and eat on the front porch.”)

Some are wild… (“Blindfold a kid, spin him around, and wherever he points on a map is your vacation spot.”)

Some are random... (Did you know July 14 is Shark Awareness Day? You can celebrate with fun crafts…or watching Shark Week on TV 😉

There is truly something for everyone on this list. Don’t feel like you have to do it all, of course, but I hope this list gets you motivated to make lots of wonderful memories with your family. Summer is the best time for memory-making! Print it out, and when you feel the summer doldrums kicking in, pick a number between 1-101! 🙂
