Summer Fun List 2012

Every year I make up a list of things I want to do with my kids to make some memories.  Last year I only got half of them done.  I'm bound and determined to fit it all in this summer.  Maybe if we start a little early, like right now, we'll be able to get it all done.  :)


Summer Fun List for 2012

1.       Outdoor "concert in the park"
2.       New Outdoor Amphitheatre with Dad
3.       Bear Lake family reunions: Minnetonka Cave, 50 mile Bike Ride, Pickleville Playhouse, Talent Show, sandcastles on Rendevous Beach, shaved ice and raspberry shakes
4.       Hogle Zoo, Liberty Park (wear swim suits underneath for waterpark) and Tracy Aviary
5.       Thanksgiving point gardens, dino museum, feed the farm animals, eat an ice cream tower, see the new Brave movie
6.       Red Butte Gardens
7.       The Leonardo museum by Salt Lake City Library, have lunch on the roof of the library.  Yes, you can legally do that and it's safe.
8.       Lagoon with Dad
9.       Clark Planetarium, Discovery Gateway, City Creek Disney Store, Temple Square, lunch at Lion House, Church History Museum
10.   Hike Cecret Lake then go to the new Natural History Museum

17.   Short hike to Ensign Peak and then visit Gilgal Gardens
18.   Airborne jump place with coupon, lunch at IKEA, Bowling that night with Dad
19.   Cupcakes on Sundays – homemade, different every week, share extras with neighbors so I don't get pleasantly plump again.

  1. Wow. I am now going to go take a nap because I'm exhausted from reading this list ;) All of it sounds fabulous - I may want to tag along a few times! What's the Provo Beach Resort - I've never heard of it?

  2. Hi Broooke,
    We'd love to have you guys join us! I still need to put it all in my calendar and I hope it fits. Here's more info on Provo Beach Resort. We've never been before but they opened up last year so it's still pretty new and clean. http://www.provobeachresort.com/things-to-do.html If you click each individual link on the left of the screen it'll give you prices. They have a season pass on sale right now but I think we'll just go once and spend the day there. LMK when you want to go to Bear Lake!

  3. Sounds fun. Wish I was still working part time I'd love to tag along on some of those. When you hit downtown let me know and I can try and catch you for lunch. And maybe when you have #25 scheduled. We looked at our Moab scrapbook tonight and Andrew exclaimed "there's Karen's truck" while looking at Troys old Liberty. -Michelle
