Ever since Emmy grew her own caterpillars from eggs last year and watched them daily with amazement, growing and changing every day it has sparked her love of nature. Just incase you missed our butterfly post you can find it here.
As a family we spend as much time as possible outdoors and she loves nothing more than digging for bugs and hunting for worms – we guest posted over on Edspire’s blog showing Emmy’s worm hunting adventures.
However being outdoors doesn’t always need to be messy or about digging and bugs – I can hear those sighs of relief – I admit bugs aren’t my favourite things either.
Now the weather is beginning to improve we plan to spend as much time outside as possible and we have a list of things we plan to do over the summer, things we can enjoy as a family and on a budget too:
Fishing with Grandad – Emmy loves to go fishing and this year I think Harry will also enjoy it too
Swimming
Reading challenge at our local library
With 6 weeks off over the summer it shouldn’t be hard to fit all of those in and hopefully a few more too, of course there are always movie days and cinema trips for the rainy days which I’m sure we will have too.
Do you have summer holiday plans yet? How do you occupy your summer?

This year we are not having a summer holiday so I'm going to make a fun bucket list with the children to try to complete :0)
We all love a good old list – they also love to cross things off of the lists.
