You guys–school starts in August. How did this happen? How do I have a FIVE YEAR OLD? How is he starting KINDERGARTEN? Ugh. While someone helps me figure that out, I decided I wanted to share with you our Summer Bucket List! These are things i really want to accomplish before my kiddo starts school.
It’s so hard to plan to do things (especially when your Hubby is a total homebody) but I am DETERMINED to do some fun things before its just me and “Crash” all day every day. (A friend of mine calls the little guy “Crash” instead of Cash and I think its hysterical.)
So here it is! The List. Get ready. Get set……
- Splash pad (Visit at least 3 different ones)
- Go to a park on the Lake
- NASCAR Speedpark
- Visit a Children’s Museum
- Plant some veggies
- Paint Pottery
- Go to a water park
- Visit Chuck E. Cheese (Yea-were crazy. I know.)
- Tubing on the river
- Go to a drive-in
- Take a Hike
- Have a water balloon fight
- Buy ice cream from a truck
- Go berry picking
- Have a breakfast date
- See the $1.00 Summer Movies
We already planted a few plants in April, and TODAY we finally harvested some peas! The boys were SO PUMPED to pick the peas!!! I think this is a great one for everyone to try. I have been trying to get the littles to try more veggies and I think this may be a good way to start–get them involved!
We plan on going to the drive-in tomorrow night. (Pray for me y’all. The movie wont start until after 9pm. My kids are going to be a mess!)
We also have already visited one splash pad. We ALMOST visited 2 pads, but ugh the first one wasn’t running, so I guess we can’t count that one. Anyways, 1 down, 2 to go!
I am so excited to already be crossing some fun to-do’s off the list (And I LOVE TO MAKE LISTS/cross items off) and hope by the end of the Summer, we have crossed every one of these off the list!
I know you can look on Pinterest and see THOUSANDS of ideas to keep you busy this summer, but I really wanted to make a list catered to our family, and do things we wouldn’t normally do. I also wanted to keep it realistic!
What would you add to this list? Any fun things you want to accomplish before school starts?

This is our second year taking part in our local library’s summer reading program. The kids love it because they get to make crafts, get yummy snacks, get prizes for reading each week and the different people that are scheduled each week put on some great shows for them! We’ll definitely be signing up every summer!

I will have to check into it here! Maybe our library has something fun like that!

You forgot one thing….. Visit your favorite sister ever in Bowling Green, KY! We have splash pads-therefore that can be marked off your list. Also, a pool and waterpark. And caves…. All sorts of stuff for your list.
