This week we’re talking about summer bucket lists!
Mary: Our summer bucket list includes a lot more trips to the beach, the Cuyahoga County fair, the soon to be 2nd grader’s birthday and maybe a trip to Cedar Point. It is hard to believe this is July! Oh and the soon to be second grader wants to have a lemon-aid stand.
Emily: This summer, we’re planning to spend as much time at the beach as we can! A few things on my list are going to the county fair, seeing a baseball game, taking a trip to Martha’s Vineyard (with The Boy) and one to Nantucket (without The Boy). I also want to use our backyard fire pit more than we did last year. S’mores, anyone?
Valerie: My kids have been talking non stop about a lemon-aid stand too! On our list is Sea World, Six Flags, Splashtown, Gatti Town and hopefully a trip to the beach.
Ghada: We’re aiming to do lots of day trips that might even involve renting a car. It’s our first summer in the area, so everything will be new to us. I really want to make the most of friends and getting together and creating memories – I know it sounds hokey, but I really think its important for the littlies.
Emily: Bump! Where is everyone? Out checking things off of their summer bucket lists?
Lena: Kayaking. I really wanted to do something crazy and this summer called for kayaking. I actually had a date with my husband on the middle of a small lake in peace and quite on kayaks. We just sat there for a while – it was nice
Mary: Oh, Lena, have you tried paddle boats! I want to do that and I was just at a lake this weekend that rents them!
Emily: Lena what a fun date! Paddle boats are so much work Mary! I’d love to try the latest craze – Stand Up and Paddle boarding, too.
Lena: Emily, stand up and paddle freaks me out. Anyway, Mary, the campground were we stayed had one paddleboat and it was always checked out, so we did some kayaking and canoeing 🙂
What are some things that you’re planning to do with your family this summer? Do you have any summer traditions?
Thanks for sharing your family’s summer bucket list Lena of Way2Goodlife, Ghada of Mama goes BAM, Mary of iNeed a Playdate, and Valerie of Valerie’s Reviews
We try and take bimonthly (or more) trips to the lake. South Eastern Ohio is boring around this time of year, but being so close to Pittsburgh, we take the boys out to the strip district for some awesome cultural activities, the aquarium, museums, etc.
We end up being so busy with birthdays and activities during the summer that we tend to do things we don’t normally get to do during the year. We got to the zoo and legoland and just some fun trips
Over the summer we did most of the items on our bucket list: beach, swimming, zoo, aquarium, etc. Our baby was jet over a year so we had a fun time taking her different places!
