- Complete clock hours for STEM/ teaching certificate.
- Play on the beach!
- Finishing painting and staining the deck and roof line.
- Heave both side yard projects completed by end of August.
- Clean and organize garage (because if I didn’t get it down during 4 months of quarantine, then I’ll definitely get around to it this summer).

- Get down to x pounds, by walking and eating healthy.
- Connect with couple-friends.
- Visit Dan and Deborah.
Kyla’s Thoughtful Goals as written in the third person (edited for b/d reversals):
This summer, Kyla wants to ride her bike, feel the wind through her hair, and her muscles continually pulling. A summer trip to Cannon Beach. To clamber on rocks and splash in the waves. Get a donut sometime.
Kyla plans on seeing her friends. Maybe for a move or walk. Go adventuring, swimming, exploring. When all is done have sun-kissed skin to show the fun.
On a more academic note, Kyla wants to make sausages and practice Spanish. Listen to lots of books, and I mean lots.
How Wesley Will Spend His Summer
- Get to Wave 100 in Balloons TD6. (If this makes sense to you, you have wasted your life.)
- Play with Abigail.
- Have a sleepover with Abigail.
- Get laser tag as a summer surprise.
- Go to Oregon in the RV.
[Mother’s Note: All but the sleepover were pretty much accomplished by Day 4 of Summer Break. Well played, Son.]
