Things to do in the summer (without technology!)

Last summer I made a three page (with pictures) list of things that my brothers could do away from their dear, dear screens. Well, few of them noticed or cared, but I'm trying again. I thought I'd share this year's list here, too. Sorry if the formatting is wonky. Copying and pasting from Word doesn't always work as it should.
