Summer Bucket List

I have a few ideas that would be fun to do over the summer and I want to make sure that I have anything we need beforehand.  Summers here are a bit hit or miss.  Our first summer here it pretty much rained for the whole six weeks of the school holidays, last year we had a glorious two week spell of hot weather.  The chances are it will rain quite often, but we should hopefully get some "summer" days.  I am making summer the period from the summer solstice (20th June) until our village show date at the end of August.  The list is pretty low key and I've tried to have things that we can still do no matter what the weather is.  I'll print it and put it on the fridge as a reminder of things that would be good to experience. 

Our list (some with links), have listed any prep (more for me!)

• nature wand walk - stick, double sided tape
• paddle in the sea
• tickle game - make tickle wheel or similar
• PYO fruit
• wet paper fun - paper from recycle bin 
• picnic -rug,basket, goodies
• a family wedding
• make lemonade - 4apples and a lemon (supposed to have a juicer but will give it a go)
• bandy net fun - a bandy net
• have a BBQ -BBQ bag, goodies
• walk outdoors barefoot
• fly a kite -kite
• a storytime walk -book and maybe props
• use bath paints (growing a jeweled rose has great bath ideas) - bath wash soap, cornflour, food colouring, ice cube tray, toothpicks                      
• blow bubbles - washing up liquid, water, sugar using recipe here, a wand
• build a sandcastle -bucket, spade
