Our Summer Bucket List

The summer of 2020 was such a bust! Almost everything was closed or cancelled due to Covid-19 and we were pretty much trapped at home with nowhere to go. This summer though, we are making up for all the lost fun, and calling it the “Summer of Yes!” 

NOW, I want to make EVERY summer fun and memorable for my whole family.

My boys and I sat down and made a list of the places we want to go to and things we want to try together. It was fun to hear some of their ideas. My oldest came up with 80’s Day and I am excited to see what he has planned for us. 

If you want to do this with your own family, you can use our Bucket List Ideas or print our blank template to fill in your own.
