The Ultimate Summer Bucket List

Ok y’all, it’s officially summertime which means it’s time to put your thinking cap on and do a little planning to ensure you and your family enjoy the season to the fullest!

Summer is one of those magical times during the year where you feel like anything is possible.

Do you remember being young and squeezing every ounce of daylight out that you could while catching fireflies and playing hide and seek with the neighbors?

Or how about the excitement of a family road trip to the beach, complete with sandcastle building, seashell hunting and sand everywhere!

What about the sound of the ice cream truck as it pulled onto your street, you squealing to your parents, begging for a dollar to buy a sweet treat?

Or summer nights spent at the fairgrounds, gorging yourself on cotton candy and funnel cakes, and riding each ride a minimum of 5 times each!

The beautiful thing about memories and traditions like these is that they stay with us. They shape us and how we expect to experience life, filling us with wonder and hope.

As parents ourselves, we now have the profound honor and privilege of helping to create memories and traditions for our children, that will last a lifetime.

Don’t forget to grab hold of the magic of summer this season!

Here is a list of several ideas to get your wheels turning if you need some inspiration for how to spend some quality time with your family this summer.

Wish your family a happy summer vacation.
