The Summer Bucket List

Despite what the calendar and the thermometer say, around here summer is almost over. In some parts of the country there are a few weeks left before school starts again.

A friend was teasing me because we had a Summer Bucket List this year. It was just a list of things we wanted to do, a good resource for those days when we can't think of anything to do, not a "To Do" list with items we felt compelled to complete before school began.

What about you? Did you and your kids have a bucket list?

Here's ours:
