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
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?

1. Go to the Zoo.

3. Swim Til We’re Pruny.
4. Have a Garage Sale.
5. Make Sno Cones.

Ahhh, we have a Summer Bucket List.
My daughter created it, and it’s called The Sullivan’s Not Bummer Summer List (thank you, Judy Moody movie). It’s full of all kinds of fun and random activities like touch a dead sea creature, ride a roller coaster, and learn to dive into the deep end of the pool.
Amy, that sounds like so much fun! I love it!
