I am getting a lot of our ideas for summer up pretty late. Sorry! Summer is half way over (over half way begun, I guess :) but it is never too late to try and get in those things that you have wanted to do with your kids, spouse, friends, neighbors etc. I always am so sad when summer ends, but this year I decided to copy this idea and make a Summer Bucket List so we don't miss out on some of those things I promised the kids we would do. Josh and I sat down with the boys one Family Home Evening and asked them all of the things that they wanted to do this summer, and this is the list we all came up with. I made this on Photoshop, but you could just write it cute on a long strip of posterboard embellished with scrapbook paper. Then I printed it off at Costco for $4.99 (we discovered you have to actually take it in to Costco, you can't send it online) and I bought the 12X36 frame (it was actually 11 3/4 by 36) at Walmart. I love that having this list right by our dinner table (which by the way has been refinished and is DYING to make it's debut) keeps our summer fun ideas in front of us all of the time so we are always thinking of when we can do them. We have done a few of them, but have a lot of them left to do! We'd better get going!

What a fun idea! I hope you make it through the list before summer is through. I feel like summer comes and goes in the blink of an eye!
I love the things on your list!! So many of your activities are free or very affordable. :) Try to make it to Dinosaur Park -- you'll love it! We've been twice since we moved out this way and my kids really enjoy it. Just skip the IMAX movie (it's free with admission) -- so very, very pointless and not worth your time (people actually walked out of it before it was finished!).
What a fun idea! So cute, Em!
Anna, It does go so fast! I am worried we won't get through it all! Lynette-yep gotta get some free stuff on there :) Thanks for the advice on the IMAX. Thanks Michelle, you cute girl.
