While there will be many things that we do this summer that we decide to do at the spur of the moment, I thought it would be a great idea to create a resource list to place on the fridge. This list would be called Our Summer Bucket List.
Rather than have one long list of ideas, I decided that our list would have sections that would make it easier to find things on our list.
Our Summer Bucket List is divided into several sections. We have an At Home section, an Away from Home-Any Day section, and an Away from Home Specific Day section along with several subcategories

That sounds like an amazing bucket lists. Do they still do things on Main Street during the summer? I used to love seeing all the families there when they had the live music on the streets.
I love “Dig the biggest hole possible.” That’s an excellent goal! Our list is at http://www.butterscotchsundae.com/?p=7320.

What a wonderfully fun list – we’ve gone with a list of first this year http://rainydaymum.co.uk/summer-2012 with J and T both under 3 I hope that it will be a tradition that in the coming years we can write together and not just a list of firsts but a fun lists of things we can do over the summer when school is out.
Looks great!! Wishing you a wonderful summer with JDaniel! 🙂
