Summer Bucket List

Summer is such an amazing season! This is the first summer in a couple years that I haven’t been pregnant or just had a baby and we are ready to enjoy it to the fullest! To keep it from slipping by us I’ve written out a Summer Bucket List for our family! Summer 2018 we are ready for you!!

Our Family Summer Bucket List

Go on a picnic
Camp under the stars
Lake Michigan beach day
Zoo trip
Pick blueberries
See a parade
Run a 5K
Make homemade ice cream
Take family photos
Go to the 4-H Fair
Make a blanket fort
Explore a waterfall

We’ve already checked a few things off the list. Or rather, we added them to the list when we did them! ????????

Because the list is there to serve YOU not the other way around! If the idea of the list feels like too much you can always do a summer bucket list in reverse–more of a memory list, just add to it when you do it! Yesterday the kids and I built a blanket fort (I needed to dry a large comforter so win-win) and on to the list it went.

Last week we spontaneously decided to check out a local park and it had a beautiful waterfall! So beautiful!! And onto the list it went!

We have a lot planned this summer we are excited about! Making homemade ice cream (this salted caramel ice cream is DIVINE!) is one I’m really looking forward to and also did you guys notice there is a 5K on my list!? ???? I’m working up to it! It feels good to be running again. This summer we have also already welcomed a new niece to our family too! We also have two weddings (one brother and one cousin), wedding shower, family vacation at Gull Lake Ministries on the calendar. It’s going to be a fantastic summer!

Summer is supposed to be magical and beautiful and memorable. Putting pen to paper can help you prioritize your time (there are only so many weekends in the season) and be intentional with creating memories all summer long.
