Summer Bucket List 2020

26 Jun
Spread the love
Tweet

Last week I was writing a Summer Bucket list for Fishers, IN (who I’m lucky enough to be working with! YAY!) but it made me realize that I haven’t made our own Summer Bucket List yet! And with some things starting to reopen, I think it’s time… and it can now include more than just go on a walk.

SUMMER FUN

So here it is!  Our official Summer Bucket List!

Go to the Drive-In
One of the most throw back things we can do these days with and keep to social distancing AND enjoy something NEW(ish).

Eat Pineapple
Doesn’t pineapple just make you feel like summer?!  There’s just something about it that says SUNSHINE

Float at the Pool
What’s more summery than hanging out on a hot summer day next to a cool pool?

Draw with Sidewalk Chalk
We love being able to sit outside and get creative!  This is the perfect way to do that with your kids.
Plus if it rains, you can do it all over again tomorrow*

Watch Fireworks
While this one might be a little more complicated this year, we just couldn’t leave it off the summer bucket list.

Have a Picnic
Fill up the basket with sandwiches, drinks, and snacks and head to your favorite shady spot at your favorite park for a lovely lunch.

Visit the Beach
If you can’t make it to Florida or another sea-lined state, check out lakes around you with beachy areas!  Sand is sand when you are in the mood!

2019 SUMMER BUCKET LIST

Pick Fresh Fruit
Picking any fruit will do!  Maybe it’s the strawberries in your backyard, or blueberries at the farm.  Whatever it is, pick your own and enjoy!

Enjoy Family Bike Rides
You know I encouraged the purchasing of bikes from my quarantine purchases, but if you don’t have your own, find some rentals or borrow friends.  This is a family activity you all will love!

Go on a Trip
A trip could be a day trip, a week trip, or an hour trip!  Just get outta town for a bit.  Give yourself a refresh by going anywhere.
It’ll refresh your soul!

Visit a State Park
There are so many amazing state parks out there that we haven’t explored that this one had to make the list!  Even if we hit just one, that’ll be great!

Pick Wildflowers
I heard that we have a new park opening here with a field of wildflowers so that’s where this came from, but I have been reading about more and more fields you can go an cut your own flowers in!  It’s a fun one for mom and kiddos too!

Enjoy Smores Around the Campfire
Even if the campfire is just in your backyard, make sure to have all the fixin’s to make the best smores around!

Eat Ice Cream Somewhere New
Ice cream is 100% a summer fridge staple!  But change it up by trying a new place!

Go to the Zoo
Most zoos are starting to open back up now.  Ours is open by booking appointments and if that’s the best way to do it, I’m all for it!

What’s on your list this year?

We know everyone’s summer bucket list might look at little different this year so I’m wondering how you all are trying to find the normal amid the chaos…

If you are close to Chicago, you may want to check If you are close to Chicago, you may want to check out the @stranger.things.store in Oak Brook!  It’s only open for a couple more weeks, but it’s def worth checking out if you are a fan!  Lots of fun photo ops, exclusive merch, and plenty of details to take in! 

We recently planned a stop and visited on the way to our vacation final destination!  Loved surprising the girls with this one!  The only other stores are currently in Dallas and Paris!!!

At the start of every school year, I looked forwar At the start of every school year, I looked forward to the one year the girls would be together in school and get to ride the bus together. Well, this is that year, but  instead they but they are split up with Ella heading into 5th at the Intermediate school that’s probably bigger than my high school and a class of what I heard was 700+ 🤯 and Olive heading into Kindergarten at Shamrock ☘️ which also might be bigger than Dwenger 🤣. Can’t wait to see the what this year brings! 

Cheers to a great 2022-2023 school year!

After becoming a fan myself, thanks to her, I started looking into Stranger Things experiences!  I mean, it’s based in Indiana so why shouldn’t there be something here?!?

Well… @graduatehotels came back having a Stranger Things suite and after talking it over with Mike, we decided it was the perfect summer weekend away with a twist!

We have the BEST memories going to the fair and make more every year!  Plus, there’s something for everyone. 

What’s your fave fair memory?! 

The popular $2 Tuesdays are gone since the fair is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Instead, fairgoers can take advantage of $3 Thursdays, with $3 admission, $3 midway rides and $3 food options at each food stand.

After two weekends away, and yes I swear I'm worki After two weekends away, and yes I swear I'm working on recaps, it makes me realize I'm a true combination of a curious homebody.  Whenever we go somewhere, all I really want to do is get back home, but I also don't want to "waste" the trip so I want to fit in as many fun moments as I can!  It could be making sure we hit that candy shop we saw on Yelp, or going to a popular tourist location, or walking around a historic location... No matter where we go as a family, I try to fit at least something in that we can't get a home. 

Whatever it is, I don't want to miss the opportunity to make memories and take advantage of a little adventure... 

But there's something to be said about home... 
Your own bed... 
Your comfy couch...
The way your home smells... 
Your friends... 
Your routines... 

So, let's all take a moment to take it all in, be grateful for all that we have at home and realize that, for a lot of people, home is their happy place, and we are the lucky ones. 

*On that note, I'm working on a few things that should be posted soon!  I'm excited to share our recent travels, a couple DIYs, and more!  I am always slow to share because I just feel like there aren't enough hours in the day, but please hang in there with me because I hope I offer something to all those who follow here!  It's a place where you'll find good things, but sometimes, good things come to those who wait patiently on a busy working momma who is tired! LOL.  Keep an eye out for new content soon!
