My Family Summertime Bucket List
2017 Summertime Bucket List
After a crazy 2016, our family has just felt spent going into this summer. Winter was horrific, with having everyone sick with a virus, bronchitis, and we even had someone have pneumonia. As a mom, I am constantly at battle with the idea of allowing them to burn some brain cells via video games. Having tweens, their main goal is to play the video games. So, finding the balance between playing games and active family fun is always a challenge. This bucket list is our goal to accomplish a great 90 days worth of balance and fun.
The promise of summer sun and Vitamin D infusions have us excited to make special plans. So, I will share what those plans are with hopes you are inspired with tweenagers.
