Woot! School is out and we have one heck of a Bucket list for this summer! This was my first year with two of my P’s in school (sort of, P2 only went two days a week) and I have missed my daily adventures with them so we are doing it up this summer!
To make it officially a ‘Bucket’ list I found this cute little bucket in the Target Dollar section (if you haven’t figured out by now, I love me some Target and I love me some dollar deals!). We wrote each item from our list on wooden craft sticks with colored markers. (I plan on doing something with the sticks after we complete each item, but more on that later). I like this idea because it makes it easy to add more to our list later.
So….what are planning this summer? Here’s our list of 50 fun summer activities! (I have to say some may not be happening, there was a little bit of over immagination/wishful thinking going on when the P’s were brainstorming).

Yes! I want to do this every summer and I think it worked out great that this is the first year we are doing it….my Oldest just finished Kindergarten! I wanted to make the end of the year/summertime a big deal since I missed having her all to myself and going on our usual adventures
Thanks Gianne! Hope you are enjoying your summer!
Thanks for stopping by Anna! We have had a blast with this! Please do ‘steal’ it, that’s what it’s there for
This is an awesome idea. I love having an actual bucket and putting your list on sticks is a great, hands-on kind of thing for your kids to be involved in. I have little ones who would love this, (So I might have to steal your idea.)
Visiting from Saturday Sharefest, and I will be back!

I love this!! I might try this next year especially since it is so cute and economical. Wanted to let you know I linked to you for your summer bucket list. I made my own and added it to my summer activities list.
Thanks!!

I love this Summer Bucket List idea. I may have to steal it for my daughter when she is a bit older and make it a summer tradition.
