Summer Bucket List for Families

Me and the boys made a Summer Bucket List and we have been trying to check at least one thing off each day. It has been SO much fun!

We have actually checked several more off the list since I took this picture...and even added a few more activities as well!

It really has helped keep me accountable to getting out of the house and doing fun things with my kiddos, fighting the urge to stay in where it's cool, desperately trying to organize my new house.

Our list is filled with simple, good ole fashioned fun that is very doable and inexpensive. And the best part...we are spending quality time as a family, making memories!

Feel free to steal my ideas. They are a compilation of things I saw on Pinterest, things I thought of on my own and things the boys came up with.  Did I mention that my boys LOVE it!

What is on your to-do list this summer? Have you made a summer bucket list of your own?

By the way, my Tervis 24oz Tumbler has been following me around all summer long, making it so easy to get my daily intake of water! Here it is with me the day that we checked "eat watermelon" off of the list.

It and the elliptical are my new best friends now that I am going strong on my weight loss journey again! We spend countless hours together. :)

Hope you and yours are having a fun-filled summer!
