2015 Summer Bucket List!
Bucket lists. You can love them or hate them. I personally love them. (I love lists.) I wrote my first list last June and had a really fun couple of months checking things off. The great thing about a list like this? It’s fun to work towards your summer goals.
Last year, my bucket list included a trip to the NC Zoo, a camping trip and a beach vacation (among many other things.) We had a blast, and I’m hoping to do similar trips this summer. I also know what my family enjoys doing, and what wasn’t worth the hassle.
This year, we want to try the following:
1. Visit Splasheville (our local splash pad.) We barely got there last year because it was closed most of the summer.
2. Visit family in New York.
3. Pick a lot of blueberries (and for that matter, vegetables from the garden.)
4. Celebrate our boy’s 4th birthday.
5. Do a day trip to Grandfather Mountain.
6. A beach trip. (I think this is imperative every year.)
7. Run another 5k (maybe two) with my boy.
8. Complete several craft projects. (I’m slacking on my #15in15 project!)
9. Get the boy to ride a bike. He is hesitant on the tricycle in the yard. I need to figure out how to make him more comfortable with riding.
10. A “yes” day. There are a few opportunities for this, and I think it could be fun for everyone involved.
So here’s to a fun-filled summer!
What is on your list of things to do this summer?
(I’m actually posting over at SITS today about bucket lists. I hope you’ll check it out and link up!)
It sounds like you have a fun summer coming up! We will be at the beach most of ours 🙂
Looks like you’ll be having lots of fun this summer! I’m interested in what a “yes” day is.
It’s a day where I don’t tell the boy “no” (within reason.) We’ll do activities based on his wants. 🙂
What fun!!! I’ve never been to Grandfather mountain! I need to give it a try!
Great list I did not even think of doing a bucket list for summer but maybe I should as I know there is so many things the kiddies want to do.
We drove past Grandfather Mountain two years ago on the way home from a trip. The kids still talk about it and call every big mountain “Grandfather Mountain.” We didn’t even stop there!! Maybe we should head back at some point!
I love lists. It gives my overworked brain a break from having to remember everything I want to do and need to do.
Love this! And lists, I need to make one for the summer too. We’ll be spending most of the time packing and such to move in September but I would like to get some fun things in there too!
My 8 year old was just getting on to me for my creating our Bucket List yet. I told her I had it in my head!
Looks like a fun summer! I am planning on a ton of beach trips.
What a great idea! My guy is done in 7 days and I think we will be making our own bucket list. Thanks for sharing:)
We have a summer bucket list too! We have only checked off two things so far but can’t wait for July to start really working on it!
These will all be so memorable. It’s important to make the most out of each summer.
What an awesome bucket list! I had never thought of making a summer bucket list, but it’s a fun idea.
That’s a great bucket list! I hope you get to accomplish them all this summer!
That is a great list! Sounds like you have a jam packed summer! Hope you son has a very happy birthday!
Looks like a great list to me. We need to get out more!
There’s so much I want to do this summer. I have a list of books I want to read, strawberry picking, beach adventures, maybe a trip to Tennessee, too!
Sounds like you will have a fun filled summer with lots of great things to do on your list. I don’t have anything big planned for this summer. We are remodeling and I am hoping that it is done before the end of summer. I guess that is the biggest thing on my bucket list, LOL. That and to just enjoy life.
What a fun list. Now I feel guilty that I don’t have one. Lol
I am going to spend a lot of time with the kids at the pool and at the beach. It our favorite summer activity.
We are going to the water park, amusement park, beach, pool and so many other things. We try to fit a lot of things in during summer vacation.
I don’t have a bucket list this year. I’m definitely in wing-it mode for the first time in years!
I wrote down all the things I want to do too! I know if I didn’t, I wouldn’t have the focus to get it done.
It sounds like a great list for this summer. I like the idea of doing several craft projects, a beach trip and the “yes” day which looks very fun and enjoyable as well. Will have to plan a bucket list for my home for this summer.
What a fun summer! My summer bucket list is to rest and relax!
