A few years ago, I published a one-page summer bucket list that continues to be extremely popular for families, but it occurred to me this year, as I was planning the summer out for my own two kids, that the bucket list may not fit my now 12-year-old as well as it once did.

I resolved to create a new, updated summer bucket list just for tweens and teens. I printed out my new Intentional Summer Planner and given the lists of activities to my big girl to peruse and revise. She crossed out the items she had already done this summer, and by the time she was finished, I expected to have an all new list to put together for you.

Except.

She was pretty excited about almost all the things on the list. Not every single one, of course, but enough of them that I reconsidered my idea of redoing the list for older kids. I think the old list is just fine even for these cool kids.

Not wanting to give these kids a babyish list, I went ahead and updated the graphics. But otherwise, the new list is exactly the same as the old list.

So that's it. I created a new summer bucket list without the babyish stuff so that our tweens and teens would have a list of their own to get ideas for the summer from.
