Passport to Summer

The end of August also marked the end of our communities Passport to Summer program. The kids participated in this last year and wanted to do it again.

In May each kid gets their passport book with 80 different activities in it. You completed the activity and take it to the sponsor business to get your stamp. Stamps equal raffle tickets in a big prize drawing at the end of August.

We teamed up with a friend of  mine and her kids. Each Tuesday we got together and took our kids around to complete as many activities as we could. By the end of the summer my kids had completed 64 of the 80 activities.

A lot of the activities were things we already do the summertime: ride bikes, swim in a lake, eat s'mores etc... We also had to go on hikes, take the historical walking tour of downtown, play in sprinklers, and attend many of the community events like the fair and paddle fest to earn a stamp.

Here are some other things we did:

 play basketball

 Clean rooms

 Hike to the historical flume remains (built by pioneer settlers)

 wash the car

 Visit the U Hill

 Take treats to a neighbor

 Wear our seatbelts

 Do 1 hour act of service

 Take a picture with a dinosaur

 Take a picture in front of a Coldwell Banker sign

 Take a Selfie

 Eat ice cream

 Do a kids tri

 Last year at the prize raffle, Brooke was the only one of the kids who one a prize. This year, all the kids one several things. So many prizes, in fact, we made them each pick one of their prizes and give it to our friends who were unable to make it to the raffle.

The passport to summer program was a great way to keep us busy during the summer! We love doing it and can't for it next year!
