Summer Bucket List 2018

Hellllllooooo summer! We are SO happy to see you. The boys are officially out of school and we are ready to get this summer party started.

Every year, we put together a Summer Bucket List as a family. Everyone contributes, mostly the boys, but Josh and I approve everything they suggest…we have to say no to some of their ideas because they are pretty wild:) We make sure all of the items on the list are achievable. We don’t want to fail at our summer bucket list, it is supposed to be FUN!

Today, I am sharing our list, in case you need ideas! Here are 30 FUN things to do this summer!

Summer Bucket List

1. Go on a picnic.
2. Play tennis.
3. Go to a drive-in movie. Don’t forget the kettle corn.
4. Go hiking. A few of our favorites in Salt Lake City include: Ensign Peak, Donut Falls, Cecret Lake, and The Living Room. All of these are kid friendly.
