Family Summer Fun List

Let's face it, the school year can be stressful.  During school, we end up sacrificing family time to get things done for school.  This is why I really try to make summers special for my family.  It's our time to really reconnect and spend quality time together.

When my son was little, I came up with this idea of a Summer Fun List.  Before summer starts, we sit down as a family and come up with all the things we want to do over the summer.  We each take a turn saying something we want to do.  Sometimes it is something simple like go for a bike ride.  Other times it is something big like go to Wisconsin Dells.  

Here is our summer fun list this year:

We hang the list on the refrigerator and cross items off as we do them.  Many of our items we end up doing more than once.

Do you want to create a list for your own family?  Here is a freebie for you to use to create your list.  Just click on the image below and you can print a copy for yourself and your family!
