Summer activity jar...

I have seen various forms of this project in the blog universe over the past few weeks-summer activities &/or ideas jars, summer checklists, summer to-do lists, etc...we decided to go with the jar idea it's very exciting for the twins to reach in and pull out a "surprising" activity of the day than to just check off items on lists.
We have everything from crafty at home activities and outtings to local places to food projects and outdoor fun games listed on little slips in our jar.
Today on our first day of summer we plucked out "make friendship bracelets" from the jar and I was instantly teleported back in time to long lazy summer days with friends at home or at summer camp spending hours twisting, turning and knotting various strands of embroidery floss!
The boys loved it and have already asked if when they get bigger if I'll help them make "daddy" sized bracelets!
