Summer is coming to an end, and fall is beginning to set in the air. This summer went by in the blink of an eye. Before summer came about in full effect, I sat down with my children and made a bucket list with my three year old. We thought of some ideas we thought were cool to do before summer ended. Of course we had to be realistic. As we all know three year old’s have a broad imagination. Most of our bucket list activities took place on the weekend, or when I did have time away from work. I felt that it was important to engage with my children, get them up and active instead of them sitting in front of a TV/iPad all day and night. When I was growing up, my brothers and I stayed outside playing until the sun went down and the street lights came on. I want my children to be able to experience being outdoors and not contained inside inside the house. Though the summers are brutal here in South Carolina, I made sure we stayed cool and hydrated when we were outside. We unfortunately could not do everything on our bucket list but we did as much as we could and made the best of it.

What are some summer activities you and your children did this summer?
Next we’ll make our fall/winter/holiday bucket list and share what we did over the course of the months!

Below I created an editable PDF of the bucket list so my son can go in and check off himself what we did as a family.
