We have just 4 more weeks of school and then summer! Ah, summer. Sigh. This summer is a bit bittersweet for me, but I think I'm ready for it. Our 7th annual summer bucket list seems like the perfect place to begin. :)
Our Summer Bucket List is like a to-do list on vacation mode—a collection of fun and exciting activities we want to do during the summer months. It's a way to make the most of the sunny days and create unforgettable memories. By making our list and planning ahead of time, we can make sure we don't miss out on all the summer fun. It gives us something to look forward to and helps us stay motivated to make the most of the season.

What a fun list! It kinda makes me nostalgic because my boys are now too old for some of the things on your list. It is good that you are doing them while they still are young enough to do them! It is such a fleeting time. I will be posting my summer list soon.
ReplyDeleteI found this years list harder to make than ever. With two girls that seem very mature and two rough and tumble boys, I'm not sure if I've got them all covered equally. :) But we will give it a go.
