What will you add to your summer bucket list for kids?
Wonderful list, I want to do some of those! Rootbeer floats – YUM! I used to make those when I was a kid, good idea!
My teens only have 3 days left of school. I told them I wanted to bring them to the zoo this summer and they were thrilled. I don’t think they ever outgrow stuff like that!
Root beer floats are a fun idea that we haven’t tried before! I know bowling and laser tag are on our lists.
I like this list of ideas! Our summer break starts this week, and I’m scrambling now to come up with ideas for the boys to do all summer! I want to keep them busy, but not too busy! We’ll have to try some of these bucket list ideas!
I like your list. I really like how it isnt all full of go go go. Some of the best memories are those created together in a quiet moment.
This is a great lost. There is certainly going to be several things that kids would want to do.
