This week's Friday Favorite isn't a product we love but rather our long anticipated (in our family) Summer Bucket List. This is something we have been doing for about 3 years running now. We sometimes keep a running bucket list of sorts for fall and spring too. We also always have an advent calendar of activities for the month of December. I think the summer list is my favorite though. Summer is a favorite season around this house. It means pool time, beach time, and a lot of other fun things that happen like Vacation Bible School and swimming lessons.
This year we have a few new things and some oldie but goodies. Technically we have quite a bit of time until summer officially begins, but we are so excited for summer that we decided to make the list now. We also decide to start summer post Memorial Day so our activities will begin in about 6 weeks.
We are super excited to have a few new things this year as well as keeping a couple of things that we didn't get around to doing from last year's list (like the pancake breakfast and going to Lucky Monkey) so we want to try to get them done this year. This was also the first year that Kenzie really helped list a few things that she thought would be fun. She wanted to put pool but that is a given. She also said beaches. Lots of beaches. So we ran with that and listed a few that we would like to get to. My favorite contribution she made though was the water balloon and water gun fight. She is so cute. She just wants to throw water at everyone.
We hope we can get to most of (if not all) the things on our list this year. Some we know will happen (as usual) such as the trip to Gatorland. That is technically already planned as the Girl Scouts' annual trip. Our scouts chose it as what they wanted to use their cookie money for and we found a way to include families so we will all get to do it. Some are things we know we may not get to but we would like to try. Every year I try to post weekly or so updates. That is mainly so that we can look back at them in future years. It helps us plan for the future and it's a way to document some of our family adventures. So, those will be coming once summer begins. We are so excited!!
Does your family keep a "bucket list" of sorts? What kinds of things are on it? Please share any fun ideas as we are always looking for new things to add.
