25 Ideas for a Summer Bucket List with Kids

Do you have a summer bucket list going? Every summer, I get so excited about all the things that we are going to do with the time we all have off of school and work! This year, I made an official summer bucket list of fun activities that I want to be sure we get around to doing with the kids.

At first, it seems like the summer is just wide open but wow, does it fill up fast. I want to be sure we do all these fun things together! Having a bucket list also helps when you need ideas on a rainy day, or on days when you start feeling a little aimless.
