    We just got our beach parking pass, so we will be at the beach for most of the summer. Then we have Disney in August and will spend some time at our condo in NH – by then the summer will be over already ;(

  3. As someone who loves the great outdoors and is a keen camper and hiker, it was great to see the first 8 items of your list were all connected with the outdoors! And what better place to be for Spring/Summer? It keeps us all healthy…mind and body! Hope you have a great season.

    This has really inspired me to make some bucket list aimed goals for the rest of this year or maybe next 🙂 I loved reading through yours, it gave me some really great ideas and I can’t wait to possibly hear the stories behind some of them and completing them in your posts!

  5. I leave for the beach tomorrow and I am thrilled. That is always #1 on my list and I am so glad I am already getting to go for a few days! I also always try to eat a bunch of watermelon and cantaloupe while they are in season! lol

    Can you believe I’ve never gone fishing before? I mean, aside from a few camping things when we were younger (but that didn’t count because we just used a stick and some old cheese!)

    Maybe I need to add that to my bucket list this summer!

  7. This is a fabulous idea, to create a spring/summer bucket list. Of course, I’ll have to wait longer than you before I need to put it into practice as we are still heading into winter here in S.Africa. Still, that gives me a chance to make plans and get excited! A Blender or a Juicer? Which is best?

    Great list! I love hikes, but I’m not good at crafts, so a challenge I want to take on is to make a wreath

  15. This is a great list! Thank you so much for putting this together. Everything you wrote sounds like so much fun and (with the exception of vegetable gardening since we lease) were things that I wanted to do.

  18. Hey, I’ve been wanting to start on a DIY wreath! I just got one at a yard sale, and it’s perfect for upcycling. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. Good luck on your list.

    I absolutely love this list! I’m looking out over my backyard right now, with my freshly planted garden, new fire pit, new canoe, and hammock by the river… plus a stack of books that I just picked up from our local library sale. That’s my summer bucket list right there!
