Our Summer Bucket List 2016

Posted on Jun 10, 2016 | 0 comments

It is that time of year again!

Summer is here and adventure is everywhere, if you want it to be! We do and in our family, to help keep us on track, we make a summer bucket list of everything we want to do during the summer. Our summer bucket list keeps us motivated and conscious of everything we want to do, plus really helps guide me as I plan out our summer week’s activities.

The kids and I have been working on this list all week. We realized that there were a few things that we did not get to last summer (see that Summer Bucket List here) so we added them on to this year’s list along with all of the new things we hope to try.
