bucket list




As a way of keeping my own sanity, the kids and I made a fun bucket. It is full of fun little activities we can do when we get bored this summer. And so far it has been successful ( fingers crossed because we are only one 1/2 weeks into summer!!)


So far we have picked; Milk painting


Alphabet Bingo. Molly made that face EVERY time I called one of her letters



Finger painting.
which for Mitch was more like body painting
Bubble wrap hopscotch
We learned that you have to wear socks to do this or the bubble wrap will stick to your feet.



We also picked Hide&Seek one day and on another we ran through the sprinklers.




Things still in our bucket: Make own bubbles, magnet fishing, ice block melting, backyard bowling, swimming pool, make frozen bananas, make a sandbox, slip-n-slide, glow-in-the-dark party (this one is for night of course), go on hike, take funny pictures, chalk city, marble races, sumo wrestling, game books (from $1 sec. @ target), make sidewalk paint, play dough, water balloon fight, library, make a bird house, make Popsicles, service day, grow grass heads, crazy paint day, balloon basketball, secret kindness day, make cookies, write letters, giant bubbles, make sponge bombs, have an easter egg hunt, icecream party, hot rocks art.
Majority of idea came from pinterest and grandpa kory.


I NEED more ideas!! Please tell me about any and all ideas you have for the summer because I think we will make it through these ones pretty quick.

Great ideas! I'm inspired! Any chance you'll be headed this way...maybe add a trip to the Aerospace Museum in there?? ;-)

Looks like fun! I love the abc bingo idea. Letti just posted a great list of 60 summer activities. I think we're going to try to do those. But we still have 2 more days of school!

Trying to bust the boredom!
