Summer Bucket List for Kids
Summer is finally here! Sun filled mornings. Lazy afternoons. Endless sleepovers. The kids have eagerly been awaiting its arrival for a while now.
Every year we sit down with the kids and make our Summer Bucket List of all the fun and interesting things we want to do over the summer months.
When your kids are little, they really enjoy crossing the items off your list one by one.
This list will certainly keep your kids from being bored!
