RNYM’s 2019 Outdoor Bucket List

Posted on March 29, 2019 Posted in Day Trips, Out and about..., RNYM's Picks, Things to Do! .

We LOVE to be outdoors, and lately I’ve seen some amazing opportunities to get outside with the kids and enjoy what nature has to offer.  Little (E) loves all things flowers, and (A) loves anything with rocks.  So, here’s our list of things we are DYING to do this Spring-Fall- We’ll post what we think after we’ve been so you can keep track of the fun!!  Tried one out? Tag us or use our hashtag #RNYMSummerBucketList

Afterwards because I am a teacher and everything is a learning experience, we are journaling about our experiences.  The kids will draw pictures and write about their favorite parts and if they want to do it again <3

Sea Glass Hunting at Palisades State Park

Our Plan:  We are going to pack a picnic lunch, head down and harvest some sea glass, have lunch and come back.  Upon our return we are going to create a project with our finds.  For ideas visit our pinterest page complete with Summer Bucket List ideas!!!

Wildflowers at Brittany Hollow Farm

Strawberry Picking at Fish Kill Farms

Horseback Riding at Nickel O Farms

Our Plan: BOTH kids have been begging to ride.  This is a fabulous local farm where we can go for a lesson. It’s a semi-hidden gem and does not only lessons but camp, scout opportunities, birthday parties AND volunteer hours.

Empire State Balloon Fest

Our Plan:  This is a cheater one.  I’ve been dying to go and I know the kids will be mesmerized.  I’ve also got a friend who flies and told me this is the one to attend. If you head over find Vicki Ingrassia and tell her we said hi <3
