Summer Bucket List - What to do Before Summer Is Over

I love having some general ideas and something special to look forward to during any season. For summer I use this list. It has some wonderful ideas and it can spark some other fun ideas too. Pick your favorites and maybe add some of your own. I have a PDF attached for you to print if you like.
Another Idea I've done before is to print this list and post it on the fridge so everyone can write their ideas or circle some they want to do. I've also taken a can decorated it and clipped clothes pins around the edge with an activity written on it. I do this with the biggies like go to the zoo. Something that takes an afternoon or a day. When we do the task we un-clip it from the edge and put it in the can.
