Lately I have seen several varieties of Summer Bucket Lists. Beyond thinking they "Bucket List" was physically terribly adorable, I also cannot get over what a great idea this is! I mean, let's face it, I want to do fun things with the kids, but when it comes down to it, I can never think of anything. So setting aside time to brainstorm this and get it all together at once is genius! Now, when we have an unfilled moment we can just grab one of the clothespins from the bucket, completely the ridiculously fun task, and toss the pin in the bucket! I am uber excited to see if we can fill our bucket up before kicking the bucket!
OK, so I haven't "made" the bucket yet, but I am plans to snipe this idea from Delia Creates. So, the list you've all been waiting for:

This is a great summer list! I like the way you organized it for your family. This will make the 3rd year we've had a summer bucket list and we have yet to finish one before summer kicks the bucket! We have fun trying though. Thanks for linking up to the party.
