Summer Bucketlist: Toddler Edition

I am so excited for this summer with my kids, especially Lachlan. At three years old, he can be so much fun and has endless amounts of energy. He is so inquisitive and always asking great questions. Winters in Illinois are brutal and really limit the amount of activities we can do. He loves to be outdoors so those activities are his favorite! I have made a list of activities that I want to do with him by the end of summer. Some may be simple and already included in our daily activities whereas other are more complex and new but this will help set the tone the amount of fun we will have as a family over the next couple months and hopefully give you ideas for fun things to do with your toddlers as well.

1. Blow bubbles
2. Draw with chalk
3. Go to Jarling's Custard Cup
4. Walk down the new bike path to Gigi's house
5. Play at a new park
6. Take swimming lessons
7. Catch a firefly at night
8. Make s'mores
9. Play with sparklers
10. Play with water guns
11. Spend the day at a beach
12. Fly a kite

15. Go to see a movie
16. Watch fireworks

These are the first twenty activities on our summer bucketlist. I plan on adding new and fun activities to this list each week. Feel free to leave suggestions for a fun summer activities that you plan to do with your child(ren) so that Lachlan and I can add them to our list as well. Here's to a fun-filled summer of 2014!
