Fall 2017 Bucket List for the Whole Family

September 20, 2017 By Shann 8 Comments

Fall 2017

With the leaves changing and a chill in the air, it definitely feels like Fall 2017 in Wisconsin.

Ok. Wait.

The leaves are changing, but it is now back in the 80’s. What the heck is going on with the weather?!

Anyways, it is almost “technically” Fall, so it’s time to share our Bucket List for Fall 2017. The criteria? Easy and fun activities that the whole family can enjoy. Also, nothing that breaks the bank.

But, before I share what we’ve got planned, let’s take a look back and see how we did on our Summer Bucket List.

Summer Bucket List 2017

Here’s the list, and how we did:

  • Discover and play at new parks starting with a Park Hop Day (spend about 15 minutes at each, and then move to the next!)  We did go to a few parks, but never did the Hop
  • Take a family bike ride at least once a week   Definitely did NOT do this once a week. Maybe a couple of times this summer at most, but the boys rode all the time.
  • Visit a Splash Pad    YES!!! Twins’ Club Party!
  • Picnic at the Zoo  With Grandpa!
  • Go to Bay Beach Amusement Park
  • Take a trip to Little America Amusement Park We didn’t make either of these, but we did hit up the Nickelodeon Universe on our Minneapolis Road Trip
  • Visit our State Capital, Madison   Even though we also had to visit a specialist for Little P, we saw the Capital, and ate at Ella’s Deli with some great friends.
Summer and Fall 2017
The Zoo, Freeze pops and sprinklers, Madison road trip, Minneapolis, and Bike Riding.

And more from our Summer Bucket List:

  • Go to a Church Festival     Yes! Food. Check. Games. Check. Bouncy Houses. Check. Adult Beverages. Check. Live Music. Check. Great time? Check and Check.
  • Attend one of the many other festivals our city has (Bastille Days, Festa, German Fest, Summerfest, Kidsfest, etc.)  We hit Summerfest, Festa Italiana and Kidsfest.
  • Go to one of the traveling beer gardens (beer for the adults, playgrounds for the kids. Win. Win.)   We got totally rained on, but had a blast.
  • Sign up for the Summer Reading Program at our Local Library  Signed up. Completed first week. Never looked at the sheets again. BUT, Mr. B completed the IRunKids Marathon, which included 26 hours/books and 26 miles over the course of the Summer.
  • Have a campfire and make S’mores  Yes!
  • Go to a few of the Kid Series Movies (only $3!)  We only saw one of these, but went to a ton of the $5 Tuesday movies.
  • Cookout a few times a month  Our Grill conked out, so we only got to use it a few time, and then we had to grill inside, which is not as fun. BUT, we also got to grill with friends!
  • Have a board game day when it rains   We definitely didn’t make a whole day out of it because the attention span of the twins is about as long as Mommy’s fuse.
  • Have an arts, crafts, and dance day or two  We did a lot of arts and crafts for the twins’ birthday party. We dance all the time.

I think we did a pretty good job! Looking back, we had a lot of fun this summer. Festivals, parades, grilling out with friends, road trips, concerts, parties, birthdays, NICUversaries, summer school, summer dance, backyard camping, zoo trips, park trips, hikes, fireworks, swimming, and biking. I think we kept ourselves pretty busy!

Fall 2017 Bucket List

With our school routine finally falling into place, it’s time to plan for some fun. I’m not going to go crazy, but just find a few things to keep everyone happy.

Simple Fall 2017 Bucket List
Yes! That’s our Pumpkin!
  • Carve a Pumpkin and Roast the Seeds (We have a pumpkin growing in our front garden! It started because we left our pumpkins out waaaay too long last year!)
  • Celebrate Mr. B’s 8th Birthday
  • Collect some pretty colored leaves and do some type of craft
  • Go to an Orchard
  • Do a Halloween themed activity
  • Take a Fall Family Picture

That’s it. Short and sweet. Simple, yet fun.

How about you? Did you come up with a Fall 2017 Bucket List?

    You did a great job on your summer bucket list! I hope that the boys enjoyed all of those things and will remember them for years to come! Your Fall bucket list is very similar to mine! And you’re reminding me that I need to get that family photo scheduled.

    Simple, but fun works! I need to write out my own fall bucket list. There won’t be too much on it but I AM excited for all things fall/Halloween.

    It sounds like you have a fun Fall to look forward to this year. Long hikes are on my bucket list.

    I’m in Branson, MO on business this week and it’s in the 90s! Go figure! We had outdoor activities and I think it was the most I’ve sweat all summer long. lol

    We haven’t done a photo shoot – ever. Ours are mostly goofy selfies or someone else taking them at random family gatherings. One day we will get one! Going to the orchard sounds like fun. We will be doing that this weekend. That pumpkin looks great so far. I can’t believe it’s fall already! EEEKS! Wehre does the time go?!!!
    Love all those pictures by the way!!

    I enjoyed looking through your photos! It looks like you had a fun summer! I love your fall bucket list. Short and sweet is the best, since it’s such a busy season. I always create a massive fall bucket list, but it’s just not realistic.
