Summer Bucket List Ideas

Summer is the best time to get outdoors and take advantage of the fabulous weather with our children running wild and free. EVERYONE loves summer days! Since summer break passes by so quickly, it is the opportune time to enjoy family with extra fun and activities with this Summer Bucket List Ideas.

What's on Your Summer Bucket List?

Now’s the time to make your summer bucket list! Get your paper and pens and give all the kiddos an opportunity to brainstorm some great Summer Fun Ideas to add to the family Summer Bucket List! This is the summer to LIVE IT UP! Cities are opening up fully and after a year of quarantining, it is time to check off those boxes on all our Summer Bucket Lists!

Since summer is the time of Family Fun, we decided to create family activities using our imagination, and spend time together, BUT, more importantly - - have fun together before all the hustle of schedules begins again in the fall for school.

Let’s face it, we have our children for such a short time, we really need to cherish these summer months because in a blink, they are gone and our kids are teenagers and grow-ups!

Write your bucket list on your whiteboard or print out our Summer Bucket List to post on the fridge.
