Family Bucket List



I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it was brilliant!  I always have good intentions to do fun things with our kids but rarely take the time to be creative and do these activities.  So, I decided to write out a list of things to do this summer as a bucket list of family activities.

UPDATED 12/12/13: This was originally a summer bucket list, but with having two surgeries, we weren't able to accomplish all of this, so it's going to be an ongoing list of things we want to do as a family.  Hopefully it will be inspiring for others and will give us more ideas as we go along!
Our list:

1. Go to the zoo  5/12/13, 5/26/13, 6/29/13
2. Camp out in the backyard
3. Have a friend sleep over 11/16/13
