Happy May 1st! It’s the last month of school and summer is right around the corner. I don’t know about you but with 4 kids, summer vacation turns into “I’m bored” whining within 2 weeks of school closing its doors.
This year I decided the Sherman Family will complete a Summer Bucket List. As a blogger I will document our adventures with fun pictures and videos. This summer we will combat the whines and annoying pouts with family fun and adventures.
Of course we can always add to the list if a new idea comes to mind, and I hope they will! This should be a lot of fun and I can’t wait for May 24th!

That is a great idea to make a bucket list!
Looks like you are going to have lots of fun this summer
Love it…I have to figure out a bucket list for our summer!
Looks like you have a lot of fun things planned. I think I will use some of these in an attempt to keep the kids from fighting and arguing all summer long, lol
My goodness you’re going to be busy this summer, but your list is a wonderful idea, especially with so many kids to keep occupied. You’ve also chosen a lot of fun and simple activities that they’ll most likely <3. Thanks for sharing this!
I love this! We are moving into a rental until home this week until our new house closes and I am kind of dreading this summer, but you have inspired me!

I love your “15 town minimum w/photo proof”! I’ve got to assign my kids to take photos this summer – we can never remember what we do by the end of the summer so that’s a great way to keep track.
You have a great list, we have some of the same ideas…and you have a few I may have to borrow!
I loved your list also!
What a lovely list….think I will borrow some ideas…
Thank you so much for inviting me to the link up. You have a great list! We love sleeping in a tent in the backyard too!
Lots of great ideas … the Wal-Mart Scavenger Hunt is unique and sounds like fun!
Looks like a great list!
