Summer bucket list 2012

Inspired by Play Dr. Mom’s summer bucket list, we’ve decided to come up with our own and see, how many of the 50 things we’ll be able to cross off by the end of summer

But first Nico’s bucket item. I (Val) asked Nico what he wanted to do this summer that he can’t normally do when there is snow, his answer was: play in water outside.The same day we set up his little wading pool and voilà!
