    One really hot summer we fried eggs on the sidewalk. That was a big hit! I haven’t been to a local amusement park in ages. Must add to my summer fun list.

    I love to take my girls to baseball games, camping, and sitting around the firepit staring at the stars. I’d love to combine elements in your list, like, take a road trip and build sand castles. Or draw with sidewalk chalk on a playdate with friends.
