Oklahoma City family fun keeps our calendars full. 

It's official: summer is ending. Back-to-school ads crowd my inbox and flash across TV screens everywhere. 

July's heat will likely stay around through August and into September but the carefree days of seem to fade once school resumes. 

We've had a great summer that included fun in the sun with family at the beach, a visit to Science Museum Oklahoma's new CurioCity area, a tour of Oklahoma City Museum of Art's Fabergé exhibition, picnics at local parks and July Fourth festivities. We participated in the Metropolitan Library System's summer reading program, identified stars and planets through the family telescope and rediscovered the family grill.

It's true: time flies when you're having fun.

This year's break has felt fast, the swiftest in recent memory as my husband and I parent three children under age 10. I hear that's how it goes; the seasons blend together, months turn into years and before we know it, the children grow up.

Before the summer days are gone and childhood departs with them, we have more to do. 

Here's our bucket list: 

• Road trip: I wrote last week about our plans to take a road trip soon. We're feeling inspired by MetroFamily's Exploring Oklahoma with Children series, sponsored by Bob Moore Subaru. 
• Drive-in movie: My children have never visited a drive-in theater. That's an experience I've only had a time or two as well and we'd better catch a movie before they're all gone. Find our list of the seven remaining drive-in theaters in Oklahoma here. 
• Go to White Water Bay: I have some tickets that we really need to use before the water park closes for the season. MetroFamily will give some more away this summer; check here for weekly giveaways that feature admission to cool venues. 
• Pick blackberries: I promised my sons in December that we'd make "Blueberries for Sal," the Robert McCloskey book, come to life at Sorghum Mill Blackberry and Christmas Tree Farm at some point this summer. Sunscreen, a shady hat for baby Gabriel and a cooler afternoon are all we need.
