Summer Bucket List

Since it’s almost the 4th of July, I figured I’d better get working on our Summer Bucket List. How did June go by so fast? I have a bad feeling the rest of summer is going to go just as fast, so I want to make the most of it.

Mr. B has summer school most mornings, but we still have our afternoons and early evenings free. It stays light a lot longer, which means later bedtimes and more time for activities. The twins have been going to bed later (although, still getting up super early!) and naps have become shorter and shorter….or non-existent, depending on the day.

All three boys are also finally at an age where we can do a few more things…I hope. So, there will be quite a few “firsts” on this summer bucket list.

Our Summer Bucket list will be filled with fun, family activities, as well as some things for just mom and dad. No goals, just fun. So, let’s get to it.

summer bucket list

For the Family

  • Take the boys to their First Brewer’s Baseball Game
  • Take the boys to their First Fireworks
  • Try to enjoy the 4th of July Parade (this is mostly a reminder for me!)
  • Go to Summerfest or a Church Festival
  • Go swimming
  • Got to a new park
  • Go to a Splash Pad
  • Have a Picnic
  • Have a Camp Fire
  • Camp in the backyard…or maybe the living room

For Mom and Dad

  • Go on a date to Summerfest (A huge music festival in Milwaukee)
  • Have a movie or drive-in date night
  • Go to dinner at a restaurant with an outdoor patio
  • Have a double date

That should about do it. Hopefully, we’ll be able to squeeze everything in. We also have a trip planned at the end of the Summer for my birthday. We haven’t booked tickets yet, but as soon as we do, I’m going to tell you all about it. I will tell you that it’s going to be a family trip, which involves the boys first time on a plane. Yikes.

We also will be having the twins’ 4th Nicuversary party. Since their actual 4th birthday happened right around the time of the March of Dimes March for Babies, we decided a summer party would be more fun and way less stressful.

So, we have lots to look forward to this summer! What do you have planned? What’s on your Summer Bucket List?

  5. This is such a lovely bucket list. I never thought of making one for the ones in my life. It’s mostly only about me. I think I’ll try something like this for the important people in my life; a People’s bucket list! 🙂

  6. Great bucket list! I just discovered we have a variety of splash pads near us and I can’t wait to take the kids. They’re going to love it. Hope you guys have a blast crossing things off your bucket list.

  9. What a fun bucket list!!!! I’m sure the boys are going to love being able to do a lot of new activities. I completely agree that the rest of the summer is probably going to fly by. It’s crazy! I can’t wait to hear about your birthday trip!

  11. Oh, I love this list (really any list, but lists that pertain to fun things to do in the summer especially). Summerfest sounds like so much fun (and a perfect date night for you and the hubs). And how exciting the boys will have their first fourth of July fireworks–I can’t wait to hear what they think!! XOXO

  13. Hi Shann,

    Your summer bucket list sounds so much fun with amazing activities for your entire family. I don’t have made any such list but I’m looking forward to a beach vacation to Key West during an Independence Day weekend. So I’m excited for it! 🙂

  15. That sounds like a great list. I know I have a lot of those things on my list for this summer as well. We just found out there is a (small) water park about 5 minutes down the road from our house, so I think we might try that some time this summer. Good Luck on crossing things off your list & Have fun 🙂

  19. Great idea to make a summer bucket list and these all sound so fun for your kids! (and parents!) I remember building forts in the living room as a child and it was the best 🙂

  20. Woo! These are some awesome goals! You are going to rock it, girl! I like the dinner on a patio and drive in movie ones. 😉

  23. I love how you have two separate lists! That is a fantastic idea. The kids and I created one for them, but now I am thinking the husband and I need a separate one, too!

  26. I love that you have a list for the family and one for you and your husband! I love exploring new parks with the kids and splash pads are always fun! And yes to double dates, we don’t do enough of those.

  28. SUMMERFEST!!! I went there once (years ago) when I lived in Minneapolis. A girlfriend and I headed to Milwaukee for a weekend of fun. You HAVE to go!

  29. This definitely seems like a manageable summer bucket list! I love going to summer festivals and eating outside at restaurants. Perfect way to enjoy the summer weather!

  36. Awesome summer bucket list! I really need to write down everything I want us to do and start checking them off!

  38. I love that you have 2 separate bucket lists. We definitely need to do this. I love crossing things off of lists, it just motivates me that much more to get it done. Can’t wait to read about your adventures! 🙂

  42. Were you able to take in some fireworks for the 4th? I was dreaming of the day we can do that when our toddler and this new baby are old enough to stay awake past 8pm!! LOL!

  47. What a fun list! We always try to squeeze so much into summer. Just love all the outdoor activities that are available this time of year!

  55. I like that you divided up your bucket list into family/kids and husband/wife. We have a bucket list and we haven’t even done half of it! Although we will be crossing one thing off tomorrow so it’s progress. 🙂
