I know you've been looking forward to my fourth annual Summer To Do List! (Here's 2012, 2011, and 2010.)
I have never, and will never, call this a Bucket List (even though everyone else seems to be calling them that these days). I've always heard Bucket List used as a list of things to do before you kick the bucket, and I don't plan on doing that any time soon. This is our To Do List.
And we plan on doing each item.
I made one big change from last year: I made the To Do List for you. Gone are things specific to my family like Old Grandma. This list is as good for you and your family as it is for mine.
Feel free to cross things off and add things on the back. Make my list your own. Come back and share in the comments what you added; maybe I'll use them on next year's list!
Like last year, I created two different versions of my Summer To Do List – one for printing and a different one for on-screen viewing. The on-screen version is meant to be used as a springboard to many online activities. It contains links to everything that's not self-explanatory.
The printable version is nice and clean for printing, no links, no underlining, all black and white for easy (and cheap) printing.

I print a copy of this list and keep it on the table next to our couch, so the girls and I can cross off each thing as we do it. We've checked off 9 boxes so far!

Oh Tara, I absolutely love these ideas. I need to add the whirlybirds and marshmallow shooter battle to my list.

We have a family set of marshmallow shooters. (What does that say about us? 😉 ) The only problem is that they go through marshmallows about a bag a minute, so they are put up most of the time. I'm not into wasting that huge volume of marshmallows every week. But for a special summer treat, they're perfect.

Thank you for sharing your summer to do list.
I will be using the list for summer 2014.
