At the beginning of summer of every summer vacation I ask each of the Kraus Kids what they want to do during their vacation and I have to tell you, they’re kind of boring. I’ve got some boring kids.
I took a mental note of all the things they told me they wanted to do throughout the year and helped them embellish their list a bit.

Do you have special plans for the summer?

Usually our summer bucket list consists of places to go. I love to explore and travel. The summer we are doing California and Michigan. In Michigan we will be picking blueberries and having a grand time with the family.
Strawberry picking sounds like fun! I could definitely add that to our list. Our big thing is probably a beachy type trip. 🙂
I love seeing what is on other people’s bucket lists. I’ve never taken my kids strawberry picking. That sounds fun 🙂 We do like blueberry and apple picking so I’m going to add strawberry picking to our bucket list as well!
This is a great summer bucket list with plenty of fun ideas! We tend to spend a lot of time at the pool, visit the beach at least once and have a big back to school pizza party every summer.
It is great to have kids create their own bucket lists and work their way through them. It teaches them many lessons including planning and delayed gratification.
what a great bucket list. You gave me some ideas for summer that I hadn’t thought of.
This is a great bucket list for the kids! I love spending every moment I can at the beach, so I’ve got several beach trips coming up. I love summer!
I need to get going, so many great summer ideas. My kids would love to do a few of these including going to a farmer’s market.
Looks like we might both be from the same area judging by your bucket list. I want to bring the kids to the Boston Museum of Science too!
What a fun summer bucket list! Some of these are on our bucket list this summer too, like seeing Secret Life of Pets. It just seems like such a cute movie.

I love this idea. I should totally write a Summer Bucket List. Going to the farmer’s market would definitely be on it. It’s so close to us, but somehow we haven’t made it over there yet.

That is a great bucket list for summer! I haven’t put together a bucket list, however I think it a great idea!
We actually like being a little boring in the summertime…but that boring is so much better when interspersed with fun stuff! So many fun ideas on your list. My youngest just got back from camp…which definitely was not boring.
This is a great summer bucket list. I swear we wait forever for the summer months and then they go back way too fast.
Red Sox games and strawberry picking are some of my faves there! We also love going to the beach and hiking.
This is a great summer bucket list for the family. I love the having ice cream for dinner one. Thanks for sharing this awesome list.
I totally want to do a BUNCH of those things! I think bowling would be REALLY fun, and might do that this weekend!
