Creating a Bucket List for the Summer

Summer is almost upon us and it is time to get a list together of fun activities we can do as a family. In my house I like to post some of our ideas on our vintage chalkboard in our kitchen to remind us of things we can do all summer long. 

How do we create our summer bucket list is a question I am asked often so I thought I would share with you how we come up with our fun list of stuff to do. 

The first thing I do is ask everyone in the family for fun things they would like to do this summer and we take everyone's ideas into consideration when making the list. I try to gear our bucket list to family activities so can have fun together. 

Here are some ideas we came up with to do with our family this summer...
