SUMMERTIME! We’re excited. Very excited.

We both love the lazy days of summer, having the kids home, pool days, summer nights, picnic, s’mores, fireworks. It’s all coming! Did we mention that we are excited?

Summer really is our favorite time of year. We also know that sometimes you want to do fun things with the kids. Ideally, because you are a wonderful mom who loves to spend time with her kids-but we know the truth, by late June you’re going to be needing some tricks up your sleeve to keep those kids entertained.

Don’t worry. We’re in the same boat. Someone’s got to keep those kids entertained right?! So here is a list of 25 Summer Bucket List Ideas-Fun things to do to keep kids entertained this summer. And we’ve got a cute summer bucket list printable for you to print and write down the ideas you want to do!

Look at all those fun ideas just pictured there! And there’s a whole bunch more.

We have some great memories of doing some of these activities with our kids during the summer and some others. It can be such a great time to spend with your kids (and also help curb the whining, boredom, fighting, you know-if your kids do that because of course, ours don’t).

These are specific ideas. If you want a general list of ideas to add to your list, try this fun summer activities for kids post too!
