We LOVE making a big summer bucket list each year to gear up for the seasonal fun ahead. Although our lists are usually too ambitious to get through {believe me ya’ll — I’m not that extra!}, we just love having a guideline for things to do when we have an open day or boredom strikes {find ideas to squash those days here}.
I’m super excited to re-visit some of our favorites, and throw in some new things to do too thanks to the kid’s ideas. 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 🙂
