Summer Bucket List: Swimming
Another item we happily checked off Mikey’s summer bucket list – swimming at the pool. Whenever we go, the kids invariably ask if we’re going “for fun” or “for lessons” which I’m assuming are not one and the same in their minds. For how much we’re paying for those swimming lessons though, I think I’d prefer them to find them just as much, if not more, fun. Ah, but such is life.

Summer Bucket List: Bike Riding
One of the items on Mikey’s summer bucket list was to go bike riding.
