My Summer 2017 Bucket List

My Summer 2017 Bucket List

This summer, I am hoping to have fun and enjoy spending time with my family. We want to keep our excursions simple but we want to try new things in our own city and not spend too much money.

Last summer we went to Denver Comic Con, and then two days later hopped on a plane and took a family vacation to Texas with my in laws.

We went to San Antonio, Texas to see my brother-in-law graduate from basic training from the Air Force.

Last summer was so fun, and we had a lot more adventures after our Denver and San Antonio trips. Our most fun days were spent as a family of three doing simple activities and just enjoying our time together. We want to have more days like that this summer as well.

Here is a list of things I hope to do this summer with my family, and on my own:

1. Go to a drive-in movie theater

2. Have regular Sunday-afternoon family picnics

3. Go hiking at least once

4. Go swimming at least once

5. Take a day trip to a lake out of town

6. Go to the library once a week

7. Read 5 books

8. Visit an aquarium

9. Visit the zoo

10. Try a new restaurant

So that's it! I hope we have the chance to do everything on this list, but if not, we will still enjoy our summer.
