Summer Bucket List!

Thanks to my friend Shauna, I learned about this awesome thing called: The Summer Bucket List Challenge. 


Our bucket list will be kind of a two part list. First part will start in a couple weeks and the second part will start in August. The first part I'll refer to as our 60 Days of Summer Fun.

60 Days of Summer Fun

A picture of our paper chain for our 60 Days of Summer fun. On each link it has an activity written on it that we'll on that day. It also doubles as a count down for when Tracy returns from his summer research trip. Hopefully it will help pass the time by while Tracy is gone.

The activities include (some we'll do more than once):
  • Swimming
  • Splash pad
  • Movie night on patio
  • Picnic in the park
  • Make ice cream
  • Water balloon fight
  • Make rice krispies treats
  • Smores
  • Make a pine cone bird feeder
  • Fireworks
  • Sidewalk chalk
  • Make playdough
  • Make cards
  • Paint with water colors
  • Rock collecting
  • Dance party
  • Skype with family
  • Plant seeds
  • Picnic at playground
  • Blanket fort
  • Game night
  • Story time at our local book store
  • Make cookies
  • Make bread
  • Pizza party
  • Bubbles
  • Smoothies
  • Movie night
Our Summer Bucket List


This is our Bucket list for the second part (might add more items to the list). We'll have about a month left once Tracy gets back, so there isn't a whole lot of time for a bunch of activities. It will just be fun to be able to spend some time together before he starts school again in September.

Hoping this helps us have a fun summer and maybe we'll make it a tradition.

What fun things do you have planned for the summer?

The hubs is gone for 60 days? Where is this research trip at? How awful. Your list sounds perfect though! Since he's gone it will be smart to stay busy! What a fun summer. Yay!
