Our 2018 Summer Bucket List

We LOVE making a big summer bucket list each year to gear up for the seasonal fun ahead. Although our lists are usually a bit ambitious to get through, we love having a guideline for things to do when we have an open day or boredom strikes.

I’m super excited to re-visit some of our old favorites, and throw in some new things to do too. I had a hard time stopping, so I’m sure there will be plenty of random adventures too!

Make sure to share with us with what is on your summertime fun list 🙂
