Happy first day of SUMMER!!
I love the summer, I really do. It is something about the weather, the food, the lazy feel, not to mention parades and fireworks…I just love it. Now-a-days, summer is really no different than the rest of the year (a moms life is kinda like groundhog day…isn’t it?) But I saw this idea for a summer bucket list and I instantly knew I had to make one for my family this summer. So from today, we have 68 days until B starts his new school. I love the idea of having a jar (via pinterest above) with all the ideas in it and letting him pick one out each day. Here are a few of the things I want to do:
- Teach B to swim
- Camp in the backyard
- Paint with colored bubbles
- Neighborhood scavenger hunt
- Make Cookies and deliver them
- Visit Great Grama
- Go to the beach
- Go to the zoo
- Play mini golf
- Find a new playground
- Make popsicles
- Make a peanut butter bird feeder
- Make a pom pom shooter
- Water balloons
- Library
- Visit the Fire Station
- Make puppets and a puppet theater
- Go to the ‘new’ local baseball team game
- Have a pj and movie day
- Make Lemonade
- Make bread
- Sidewalk chalk at the Neighborhood Square
- Make fruit pops with cookie cutters
- Take pictures in a photo booth
- Make a home-made Angry Birds with boxes
- Have a make-your-own sundae playdate
- Visit the EarthQuake Exhibit at the Science Museum
- Build a sand castle
- Do a toy purge and donate
- Farmer’s Market
And not to leave a few personal summer bucket list items of my own
- Return to a morning yoga ritual
- Read at least 1 book for pleasure
- Launch a new business…

Beryl Young - I love this! I’ve been working on a bucket list of our very own this summer too. But for me and my toddler – it’s been all on me to come up with and implement our activities so no jar for us this year. But I totally plan to use the jar idea next summer! One fun bucket list idea I just posted about was having a summer scavenger hunt. This might be one to add to your own list! http://www.berylaynyoung.com/2012/06/20/summer-fun-for-the-whole-family-summer-bucket-list-idea/
