Summertime is way too short. Back to school shopping is well on it way. The time just seems to fly by and it's easy to get into the habit of letting the kids play on a tablet or watch Netflix. However, I am determined this summer to limit the technology usage with my kids. They do love to just have their own "adventures", however, sometimes I have found it helpful to have a list of fun activities to keep things fresh and fun.
Below is our Summer Activity Bucket List. We have actually completed most of the list already! I hope it inspires you to unplug and try some fun activities with your children.
