Here, then, is my list of 21 things we want to do this summer.
1. Go camping. There is nothing like a warm summer night spent in a tent.

2. Field trip to South Mountain Creamery. My husband is a huge ice-cream fan and would love a day trip to visit this working farm and sample some of the wares.

3. Game nights. Finally no homework or evening activities. Let's play some games!
4. S'mores in the firepit. Why wait to go camping to enjoy this treat?!

5. Build a fort. The boys have wanted a tree house for years. I'd like to buy a bunch of supplies and let them see what they can come up with (on the ground, not in a tree!).
