Good Morning everyone!  Are you ready to start your summer off right?  Do you always feel like the summer just flies by and before you know it, it’s gone?  I know that I do!  Every year the summer just seems to get shorter and shorter.

I’ve found one thing that you can do to enjoy your summer and make sure you’re squeezing every ounce of fun out of it – make a Summer Bucket List for your family!  By making a list of activities that you and your family want to do this summer, it gives you something to look forward to and allows you to plan out each activity so the summer doesn’t get end before you’ve even gotten to enjoy it.

Last year, I wrote a post going over Creating a Summer Bucket List for your Family and gave you some great ideas for activities to include.   This year, I thought I’d revamp the list to include some new activities, so I’ve come up with my Top 100 Summer Bucket List Ideas for you.  I hope this list helps you to kick off your summer with some great fun for the family!
