Our Family Summer Bucket List!




Every year we sit down together as a family and each of us comes up with ideas of some activities we want to do during the Summer. Then at the beginning of the Summer I try to plug them all into our calender with a back up activity in case of  rain or some unforeseen incident.Of course some ideas might not make it on our calender and, others not listed here might make our calendar.  Here is a copy of our list. Some are activities we did last year and, some are new ideas. I can't wait for Summer time to get here.

  1. I love this idea! Odhin and I did something similar although we didn't think quite as big a you guys! I think we'll expand our list to allow for more checking off and feelings of accomplishment!
