Every summer for the last decade, the girls and I have compiled bucket lists of things to do, food to eat, and places to visit to make summer a little more fun! Do we finish everything? Nope. Should every family do a summer bucket list? No way. This is not for everyone. But there may be one or two things that others may glean from and enjoy too! So here it goes...
✓ Try 2 new ice cream stores
✓ Memorize Psalm 15
✓ Go bowling
✓ Summer reading program
✓ Backyard Movie Night
✓ Pick blueberries and tomatoes
✓ Spend a day at Botany Bay
✓ Baking Contest
✓ Roast smores
✓ Try 2 new coffee shops
Harken (on Queen Street)
✓ Shop for crafts at Hobby Lobby
✓ Eat supper from a food truck
✓ Ultimate Donut Tour
✓ Play tourists downtown and visit the aquarium
✓ Ice cream from Vincents Soda Fountain
✓ Night swimming
✓ Thrift Store Day
✓ Gibbes Art Museum
✓ Freshfields Outdoor Movie &/or Drive In
Our summer basket has evolved from a summer cooler to even a summer "bag" aka Ikea bag. It marks the beginning of summer with fun things like water balloons, new goggles, snacks, chalk, smores stuff, sunscreen, water bottles, and a volleyball (since someone likes to eat all of ours.)
