The Countdown Begins!

Make the most of the rest of your summer — check out this list of a few more things to cross off the family's summer to-do list.

It's August 1st. Where did June and July go?! Our family has crossed off a good number of the "to-do list" items from my earlier . We've got a few left, though. Here are a few new items we've added for the last days of summer:

1. Check out the Marx Park "Big Splash Day"

2. Help out at the Brookfield Christian School Building & Grounds Work Day/Classroom Cleaning Days.

3. Cram in more youth sports, of course — baseball try-outs and football practice!

4. Meet some of our Imperial Estates neighbors at a dessert meet & greet we're planning with a another neighbor.

5. DO NOTHING! Try to enjoy a totally unscheduled day as a family!

6. Enjoy a decadent scoop of custard outside at Kopps.

7. Drive up to Elkhart Lake for a day or two and enjoy some beach time (and hopefully a meal at the Paddock Club!)

8. Make another batch of delish freezer pickles from our cukes to restock — just opened the last jar from last summer.

9.  Try a game of Water Volley Balloon or another fun water activity from Family Fun's list!

10.  Stop by the Wisconsin State Fair and enjoy something on a stick (we'll skip the deep-fried butter, though). 

Check out Lisa Sink's great for a few more fun events around town. If you need more ideas for things to do with the kids all year long, check out this fun list from onmilwaukee.com. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
