A to Z Summer Bucket List

My sister is here today!:

We did a summer list in 2010 and I thought it would be fun to write a summer list in alphabetical order this year since the littles are working on recognizing their ABC's.


We came up with ideas we would like to do this summer and I wrote them down. I printed one letter off per page, added some scrap patterned paper and added little slips of papers with ideas. I plan to take off/add the little slips depending on what we actually do and add a picture of that activity (either one I take with my camera or one the kids draw.) The goal is to do at least one thing per letter. I then hung them up in our (waiting to be painted) empty hall wall. At the end of summer, I'll make a little personalized book.

Here's what we came up with so far:

A=Art, A Series of Unfortunate Events Party (just started the 13th and last book in the series!)
B=Bikes, Berries, (learn about) Bats (library program)
C=Camping, Cabin
D=Donuts
E=Eat Treats We Make
F=Fire, Friends Over, Fireflies, Fireworks
G=Grandma and Grandpa Over
H=Hike
I=Ice Cream
J=Jump Rope Contest (look out, Paul. I'm totally kicking your butt.)
K=Kayak (done!), Kite
L=Library Program
M=Movies, Make Bouncy Balls
N=Navigate to Aunt Lorie's
O=Organize
P=Plant a Garden, Plant a Pumpkin (both done), Picnic, Puzzles
Q=Quiet Reading Time
R= Random Acts of Kindness, Rummage Sales, Rock Candy
S=S'mores, Star Wars, Science Experiments, Swim, Summer School
T=Terrarium (done), Tennis, Tae Kwon Do (me, too this summer!)
U=Unplug for the Day (eek, this one scares me. Any other "u" ideas?)
V=Vacation Bible School
W=Water Fun
X=eXplore
Y=Yatzee-like games (board games...Y is hard!)
Z=Zoo, a to Z books
