My friend, Julie, has a wonderful blog, Creekside Learning. She is the put together blogger and homeschool mom that I aspire to be. A couple of weeks ago, Julie and the Creekside Family came up with a Summer Bucket List, and I thought that was a fabulous idea. The other night, while putting B to bed, we thought up all the things we’d love to do this Summer. Our list is very ambitious (read – too long and unattainable) but that’s us! I look at it this way – everything we don’t get done this Summer will carry over to next year so we won’t have to create a list then. :o) So here it is:
Our Summer Bucket List
- Drive-in movie
- Zoo
- Amusement or water park
- Beach
- Skateboarding camp
- Gymnastics camp
- Cartooning camp
- Get an Avengers LEGO set
- Free Summer movies
- Go out for ice cream
- Catch an ice cream truck
- Make our own ice cream
- Sleepover with best friend
- Sprayground
- Lay in the backyard and admire the stars
- Campout in the backyard
- Make s’mores
- Have friends over for a BBQ
- Whenever we want/need to go to the library, walk instead of drive
- Save a life
- Art classes at home
- Pick berries
- Go on a nature hike
- Make a new friend
- Scavenger hunt through the alphabet with a camera
- Get B to ride a bike
- Michael’s in-store passport crafts
- Vacation Bible School
- Minor league baseball game
Since we made the list, we have done #10 and #24. Out of necessity (no car) we walked to the library twice in the week before making the list. We enjoyed it so much, we put it on the list and committed ourselves to continue doing that. He’s already signed up for VBS later this month and I am working on getting him signed up for the camps he’s interested in. I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish from it this Summer!
