It's officially summer!
I am a HUGE list person and love having a visual so the kiddo can see what his options are. So, to make sure we make the most of every season, I make a bucket list! It's usually just a handwritten list on a random notepad I grab from my desk, but I think having a cute printable makes everything more fun.
I've created three bucket lists filled with 40 ideas we can do in Tri-Cities this summer!
Having just moved here, one of our biggest goals this year is to explore more and support more local businesses, so that's the focus of our first printable.
The second page is a list of fun things to do at home for the days when you just want to hang out. Nate is a homebody through and through, so we'll definitely be checking things off of this list left and right.
I also added a blank list so you and the kids can make your own (a perfect afternoon activity). Even if you don't get them all checked off by the end of the summer, you'll still have a plan and avoid missing your "must-do" items!
Keep scrolling to see the full list!
