Writing Your Summer Bucket List

I don’t know about you, but for us this is the first week of true summer weather.  Until now, it has been cold and rainy.  And since summer has officially arrived, I thought we better put together our Annual Summer Bucket List!

 

This year, I thought we’d do something a little more fun than just a list on my computer.  So with a little help from my Cameo and a little creative thinking on our favorite summer activities, we have a great list of summer fun planned.

 

Why write a Summer Bucket List?

* It encourages time spent together.

* It reminds you of the fun things to do with your family.

* It makes you deliberate and intentional with your time, when summer can fly by so quickly!

* It creates memories with your kids.

 

When Writing Your Summer Bucket List, Ask Yourself These Questions:

* What activities ooze Summer to you?  Is it time at the pool, picking summer berries, spending time in the sprinkler?

* What are local festivities or points of interest that you’d like to visit?

* What activity would thrill your kids?

* What are the “good old summertime” things you remember as a child?

* What would you like your child to experience or learn about this summer?

Get to writing!  I usually have about 20 things on my list.  Don’t worry if you don’t get to everything during the summer.  After all, you’re not being graded . . . it’s summer!
