Summer may be daunting, but it can be manageable if you balance some summer chores with some planned fun. The beauty of a Bucket List is that some things can be spontaneous and easy, while others can be planned and awaited with eagerness. When checking off a list, it can also be helpful to look back and remember all the fun that has been done over the summer.
When talking about this as a family, make sure to prioritize the top 2-3 things you would like to do each month to make sure you get those checked off! Some fun ideas include:
- Visit a berry patch or orchard
- Fly a kite
- Go On a Hike/ Nature Walk
- Try a new park/ playground
- Have a picnic
- Visit a farmer's market
- Bake scones and have an afternoon tea party

Remember that children are enchanted by nature and simple joys. You don’t have to have to travel far, spend lots of money, or have fancy excursions to make memories. Spending time with them is the greatest gift we can give our children. These days are long, but the years are short. Let’s plan some fun days to mark this summer season.
