This past holiday weekend, my family and I sat down to make our 2014 summer bucket list! It always feels like summer flies by so we wanted to make a list of everything we are hoping to do this summer. I’ve seen a lot of different ideas on Pinterest for making a summer bucket list, but we just wrote everything out on a large piece of paper using different colored markers. Here are some of the items on the list:
- Make iced coffee (for me!)- *see below for iced coffee recipe ideas
- Plant a vegetable garden (more posts to come on our new raised garden beds this year after my first failed attempt at reviving the garden beds that came with our home)
- Go to the pool
- Go to the beach
- Make popsicles
- Go out for ice cream
- Make strawberry shortcake
- Go on a boat ride
- Trip to Maine
- Go to the park
- Watch Planes 2 in the movie theater
- Blow bubbles
- Play with the water table
- Have a picnic
- Grill hotdogs
- Watch fireworks
- Catch a fish
- Water balloon fight
- Go to the aquarium
- Go to the children’s museum
- Eat lunch at a food truck
- Run a 5K
- Farmers market
- Bonfire
- Mini golf
*We have shared a couple recipes in the past on how to make cold-brewed iced coffee. We wanted to share one more way to enjoy your iced coffee this summer- with International Delight flavored creamers! Add a splash of Caramel Macchiato, French Vanilla Hazelnut, or White Chocolate Mocha to your iced coffee this summer for the perfect afternoon pick-me-up! (A full list of International Delight flavors can be found at the I.D. website. Plus, be sure to check out International Delight’s new packaging at your local grocery store!) If you are looking to make a large batch of iced coffee, we recommend this cold-brewed iced coffee recipe. However, if making just a small batch is more your thing, check out our mason jar cold-brewed method!
We are looking forward to crossing off all these life experiences off our summer bucket list and we may add in a few more over the course of the summer. What are some of your favorite things you must do each summer?
