We're not sure yet if time will permit a traveling vacation this year, but we're going to make it a fun summer nonetheless.
Making the list this year in no particular order and the list is subject to change (and it will):

Michael's day - $10 each to spend
(do your kids love Michaels as much as mine?)
play every board game in our game closet
I'm planning to take one child on one day each week to hang out with me for most of the day and have lunch with Steve. They're all looking forward to this one. With this many kids, they crave one on one time.
I'm also labeling this the Summer of the Albums. All of my pictures will be put in albums so we can like actually look at them instead of storing them on the computer or discs.
Gone are the fancy scrapbooking days though. I have to choose my hobbies to devote more time to and this one is not at the top, so the albums will be pretty basic with just pictures. I'm hoping the girls will want to help me and if they want to be more elaborate with pages that are special occasions they can crop and paste all their little hearts desire. I just want it done. This is a lofty goal since I have THOUSANDS of pics.
I want to take a picture each day of summer to remember what we did. So make that THOUSANDS plus around another 100 pictures to crop.
