You probably noticed that this month I didn't post my to-do list. I do have one but I can honestly tell you that it's BORING. So this time around I decided to share with you another list that Hubby and I created the other day - the mid-summer bucket list. I'm writing it right now and I can't believe it's already a middle of July!
The Kid will start Kindergarten at the end of August, so we wanted to make a few weeks before that a little more memorable. Our list is not very long but our money is tight too. We will increase our entertainment budget for the next 6 weeks but not by much. So here's our "fun" list:
1. Go on a vacation (all planned already)
2. Go to the zoo
3. Go to the Aquarium
4. Do the fireworks (we did some on the 4th of July and will do some more for Pioneer Day here in UT)
5. Go to a water splash pad park (again!)
6. Drive a train downtown
7. Have a picnic in a park
8. Camp on a backyard
9. Go to the Jungle Jim's
10. Swim in a pool with and without the kids :) We have to go to a public pool which I don't like as much but we really want to go swimming.
Do you have any fun plans for the rest of this summer?
Does surviving it count as a plan? Your plan sounds wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteI think it does :)
DeleteA great list!
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of plans for the summer, We are taking a 12 day road trip across the country, from NW Pennsylvania to California. After that we hop on a plane to Hawaii.We're moving there!
To be honest I am really mostly excited about the road trip, so many cool sights to see. Can't wait. We leave in two and a half weeks.
The trip sounds awesome! and moving to Hawaii...I'm plain jealous here :)
DeleteThe Grandboys will be arriving on the 22nd when we pick them up. Other then that it will be work, work, work for the Crabby Cabbie, and me here. Looking forward to your Bucket List posts, Lena.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy your grandkinds are coming to visit!
DeleteThat's a heck of a list, good luck! ha We don't have any plans for the rest of the summer other than keeping up the garden and canning for the winter. Oh ya and trying to get back on budget, I ahve been too slack on it this summer
ReplyDeleteWell, you just came back from an awesome vacation :) It counts :) Getting back on track is important too! I'm really trying now to be frugal because of these and some other expenses.
DeleteI don't know about where you live, but around here they have discounts to get into the zoo and aquarium on certain days of the week, if you go during the hours before they close. That's what we like to do not only because it's cheaper, but it's usually not as crowded.
ReplyDeleteOur Aquarium has a 1/2 day first Tuesday (I think?) of the month. Is till need to double-check it! I'm not sure about the zoo yet but I will surely check for discounts :)
DeleteSounds like a fun-filled summer!! Love your summer bucket list! :) I think I'll follow suit & plan one with my hubby & kids!
ReplyDeleteYour bucket list sounds wonderful! Don't have anything special planned here but at my age sometimes it's nice to just do nothing:) Might plan a camping trip (RVs--not tents) with friends!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute and thoughtful that you have all this planned before the kid goes to kindergarden! He will have a great summer!
