June, July, & August always seem like the 3 fastest months of the year, don’t they?

I’m talking don’t-blink-or-you’ll-miss-it fast.

I’m sure it’s partly because, living in Minnesota we have this seemingly crazy-short window of opportunity to comfortably get outside to play. Our winters are long, cold, not for the faint of heart, and by the time things thaw we are ready to hit the ground running, which we need to do, because another winter is always right around the corner…

Well, in the name of being intentional, I make lists. Often.

And I’ve got a free printable Summer Bucket List to share, so you can get working on yours, because I want to encourage you to get out and enjoy this season with your precious family! Have fun, take pictures, make memories, get some recorded in a scrapbook, or at least on Instagram

This summer’s list is up, and being added to as we think of more fun things we want to do while we can!

Some things on our list-

• Take in a Twins game
• Go fishing
• Run through a sprinkler
• Make ice cream in a bag
• Sleep in a tent
• Roast hot dogs by the fire
• Make lots of popsicles
• Have picnics out back
• Go geocaching
• Hike a new trail
• Play Mini Golf at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden
• Go see a parade
• Play hopscotch
• Explore the entire trail at the local county park
• Blow giant bubbles 
• Visit a nature center
• Have a squirt gun fight
• Visit a new park

Like I said, the list keeps growing. I don’t know how many things we’ll manage to cross off of our list, but I do know that without a list, without being intentional about it, we’d cross off a lot less. So the list is there to remind me, to motivate me. I hope it motivates you to make the most of this summer with your precious family as well!!

What’s on your list this summer?
