Summer is my favorite time of year. I have wonderful memories of my summer vacation breaks with my family. My mom was great at getting us out of the house and enjoying the weather while we can. Unfortunately, the nice weather only lasted a short amount of time in Connecticut before the leaves started to change and snow quickly followed. I remember spending most of our days in our pool in the backyard, but about once a week we ventured out to some new adventure. Amusement parks, beaches, museums, you name it- we did it. Summer was the best time of year, and my family is what made those memories so happy for me.
And that's why I now sit here, with a family of my own, wondering what in the world I could do to make my children's memories of summer as happy as mine. We don't have many of the amenities that I had as a kid for fun activities, but we have some very unique ones in place of them. And so it came to me- a summer to do list. So here I sat, thinking of some of the things that make a summer so special to me.
The result? The Stepanoff Sixty! This will be our to-do for this summer and those that follow. I hope to expand on it in the years to come to accommodate my growing family and the unique places we will move to. These are the things that we hope to get done this summer. I embark on my summer with excitement to cross these items off of our list and make summer memories with my family!
