Just for fun...Share your summer bucket list

Strawberry picking (same as every year...never go)

We really want to get our nephew and our three nieces down here for visits this summer. We're working on logistics right now. (Nephew and niece are nine hours away, nieces are three hours away, and all have busy lives!)

I also want to get a new grill and do a lot of grilling this summer.

I want to visit my parents in August and have some quality time with them.

I also want to take more advantage of the summer fruits and vegetables this year.

Summers are always so busy for us, doing a bucket list would be like making New Year's resolutions for me! I would feel bad when most of them fall by the wayside not done halfway (or less!) in. 

The things we try to fit in before school starts back up at the end of August (which feels WAY too early for me, but it beats having our kid in school until mid-June):

Ice cream at the GOOD ice cream store in town at least a few times, the "kid-sized" cone has about a pint of ice cream in it!

Have a few play dates for DD and her school friends.

Go to the county fair and/or the State Fair.

Watch fireworks over the lake from the pontoon with friends on 4th of July weekend.

Eat home grown tomatoes and raspberries.

Host a scrapbook weekend or two at my house with friends.

That's about it. Anything else just isn't realistic for our family.

Go to the farm for a weekend

hang out poolside

cookouts

rock on the front porch in the evenings

plant flowers

play cornhole

vacation

enjoy my kids that are home temporarily

I always make a bucket list for summer. We've started ours. I consider it something just for fun. I don't feel any pressure to complete it; it's just nice to have a reminder of the things you'd like to try and do and check them off as you do them.

Here's mine so far:
Several hikes
Swimming at least half a dozen times
Go tubing down the Tuscawaras River
Hit at least one flea market and yard sale
Have a picnic
Do the ropes course in Strongsville, Ohio
Putt-putt golfing
At least one drive-in movie
Attend several free concerts downtown (we're going to our first tonight)
Visit the Finger Lakes
Do a trip around ohio to check out waterfalls
Watch an Ohio Shakespeare production at Stan Hywett
Watch a drag race
Play croquet
Go camping
Visit the safari near Zanesville
Go canoeing or kayaking
Visit a waterpark
Pick berries
Attend a local festival
Watch fireworks
Get my scrapbook room/office organized

Great idea! I'll have to work on this weekend.

Ride a ferry (it has been a few years)
Visit Mt. Rainier
Go to the beach a lot!!!
