20 Things to Do This Summer: My Summer Bucket List 2018

June 15, 2018 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 6 Comments

Good morning! How is your week? It has been cool and rainy here and I am little sluggish. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of summer in the South. Although in the past I have lamented the hot, humid days I have to say at this late date I wish we would see more of them because Fall will soon be here. 

Each summer I make a “bucket list” of things I would like to do by the end of summer, this year is no different. This summer one of my goals is to make a conscious effort to SLOW down, turn off my social media and enjoy the moments. 

Here are the 20 things I have on my bucket list this summer. 

1. Make s’mores. 

2. Eat lots, and lots of cherries and peaches. 

3. Watch the fireworks. 

4. Take a road trip. 

5. Get out on my paddle board every weekend, weather permitting. 

6. Long walks on the beach. 

7. Have a picnic. 

8. Visit a National Park. 

9. Go home. 

10. Play croquet. 

11. Have a pillow fight with my nieces’ and nephew. 

12. Make homemade ice cream

13. Go berry picking. 

14. Eat cotton candy. 

15. Host a BBQ for my Spanish neighbors. 

16. Go on a spontaneous adventure. 

17. Take a yoga class on the beach. 

18. Take a nap in a hammock. 

19. Go sailing.

20. Watch the lightening bugs. 

21. Last but not least…slow down and enjoy my family and friends. 

What do you have planned for this summer? Did you make a list, if not you should. Just jot a few things down for fun and share them with us!

Have a great day and a wonderful summer.

    Love that you make a list each summer…a living bucket list! Except for the paddle boarding that was a terrible failure for me…I can make an effort to join along.

    Sounds like a great plan! I don't think I've had s'mores in ages.
