Our Summer Bucket List Ideas

Last summer we created a simple summer bucket list. The bucket list had super easy ideas that I knew we would be able to check off. The whole thing was a hit and Hazel took it all very seriously -in an exciting way. She would wake up in the morning, find the book, and decide what we were going to do for the day. Then, as soon as she completed it she’d check it off, a decorate the page. It was fun to see her so excited about journaling.

This year, as she looks at our bucket list journal from last year, she gets excited about all the things we get to do again. And for me, I’m excited to share all the memories with her.

Here are some of the things that we have put on our bucket list, and other things that look like fun.

Taking pictures of each idea you use makes it really fun to document. We use the Polaroid mini to print pictures directly from my phone. Once we have the pictures stuck to the pages Hazel decorates the page.
