Printable Summer Bucket List

I created this Summer Bucket List to make sure summer didn’t pass us by without us enjoying what I consider to be essential summer activities. I’m not going to lie, it was also an easy way to give my kids a ready list of things to do when they inevitably start complaining one week into summer break that they have nothing to do.
