So I have an AWESOME blogger friend and she created a post wherein she described her family's bucket list for the summer and how they work it all out. She took her list and cut the items into strips and they got placed in a bucket and are drawn out to create a plan for their day. I think the is the the BEST idea ever.
So forgive me Lola, for stealing your idea, and for using quite a few things that you had on your Summer Bucket List. Here is what I have come up with for my family. I think that I am going to wait to officially start doing things on our list until I have decided if there are any other things I would like to add.
Here it is...
The Tilton’s Summer Bucket List:
Go to the zoo
Visit an Aquarium
Go Fishing
Go to the Utah County Fair
Go to Seven Peaks Water Park
Go visit Family far away
Volunteer Service Project
Go “caroling” patriotic songs to the neighbors near 4th of July
Have a neighborhood Cookie exchange
Plan a potluck picnic with the neighbors
Go Bowling
Drive the Nebo Loop
Go on a picnic
Go to an outdoor movie
Go for ice cream
Visit a playground
Go to the Art City Museum
Go to a concert in the park
Go to an activity day at the library
Visit Krispy Kreme
Fire Station Tour
Complete 4-H projects for the fair
Go to yard sales
Go Camping
Go Feed Ducks
Have an art party
Have a Karaoke Party
Roast marshmallows
Have a backyard campout
Make popsicles
Make s’mores
Make treats to take to neighbors
Go to the Reservoir
Go to a fun Swimming Pool
I know some of these things may be used multiple times, but that is Perfect! As I work to create a rigid structure in my home, I am also working to create better and happier memories for my children. And I am a Need-to-plan-things-out sort of girl.
Please, please, PLEASE, let me know of any other FUN and FAMILY FRIENDLY activities my family can enjoy. Just remember we are on an extremely limited budget, so we gotta get a bit creative here!

I LOVE visiting Krispy Kreme, yumm!
In august Thanksgiving Point has 2 dollar tuesday. YOu can get into the dino museum, the farm, and the gardens, and whatever else they have too. The museum is great, but you have to show up ATLEAST 30 minutes early or you're waiting in line and its VERY crouded, but still worth it! The gardens are really fun, an entire day can be spent there!
A craft day could be lots of fun too.
picnic at the park, or in the mountains.
go to the library, find out about story time.
go to a daytime movie, I don't know if the Sera Theatre still does the cheap mid day movies anymore, but that was always fun and you get to see some of the classic Disney films on the big screen again!
go to a city days event. That'll have to be planned more than just pulling out of a bucket, but the parades nad booths and stuff can be lots of fun.
I can't remember everything you put, hopefully I didn't duplicate!
This is a GREAT fun idea!
