The Ultimate Family Bucket List For a Summer Spent at Home

Jun 19 2020 - 7:45am

Just because much of this summer is likely going to be spent at home, doesn't mean it can't be a summer to remember! Every year, we like to come up with a family bucket list to cross off as the warm months unfold, so this year, we're bringing you a special *mostly* at-home version of our list. Screen-grab it, print it out, rewrite it on giant paper — whatever works — and hang it up somewhere if you want your kids to be able to help you cross the outdoor and indoor activities [1] out as you work your way through.

If you're racking your brain for ideas to keep your kids happy and busy [2] this summer, look no further than the ideas below. Wishing you a summer filled with sunshine-soaked memories and lots of smiles, from our family to yours.
