Summer Bucket List

Summer is the perfect time for family fun in the sun! From splashing in the pool and day-trip excursions to picnics in the park and nature hikes, the possibilities are endless. Embrace the warm weather, and the laid-back attitudes as we let our imaginations soar as we embark on exciting outdoor excursions and discover new favorite spots. Get ready to make the most of summer with a list we've compiled of summer bucket list items for you and your kiddos. While summer is our fav, keep in mind we're huge advocates of not over-committing (re: last year's summer post) so keep that in mind. Borrow as many or as few ideas as you like from our summer bucket list and dive into a summer of adventure with your kids and create unforgettable memories!
