In the US, Memorial Day weekend is coming up in a few days. That is usually the kickoff to summer. I live close to Seattle, where it never really feels like summer until late July or early August, but last week, we did have several days of sunny weather that made me get all nostalgic for summer…. which got me thinking about summer bucket lists.
Have you ever created a list of must-do items during the summer months? I have yet to do one of my own, but I asked the girls to round up some inspiration, and they found some really wonderful ideas!

Anna shared a great resource for those of you planning to visit the national parks. National Geographic has a free app you can download and earn cute little visitor’s badges once you visit the park.

And this is one of the cute visitor’s badges…

And this isn’t an actual list, but Elsie created a cute little travel journal to document all of her fun.

And here are just a few more I found to get you thinking…

The above is great because not only does she have a list on her website, but she also keeps a running list on Pinterest and references another great 100 days of summer list on Pinterest.
and some free printables just in case…

Hopefully that inspires you to create a list of your own or borrow from some of the ones posted here. If you come up with one, hook us up so we can ooh-ahh over it!
C’mon Summer!

I think you must have these things added to your bucket list
LOVING the compilation of lists! I feel like most of these are probably buried in a Pinterest board I have somewhere…but loved the visual of them laid back out again! Totally wanting to actually make/create/finish something like this with my girls this summer. Between two surgeries for the baby and some random medical crap for my middle two - i’m sure we’ll get SOMETHING fun squeezed in, right?!?!?
Thanks for this awesome inspiration!
