Summer Time Bucket List

It's offically summer here at the Benson house

(although considering my kids are doing 5pages a day in their workbooks by choice you wouldn't know it)

And As a family we made a list of things we want to do this summer

So here is our Summer 2015 Bucket list

Tball banquet 

(Already done and it was a blast)

GS family BBQ 

(Done and Cherry earned her super seller award and registered for a day camp and a full camp with her Cookie dough money she earned from Cookie sales :) we are so proud of her)

(Yes my kids consider these things treats because playing and participating in sports and activities is a privilege)

We of course will have weekly (when we remember) movie nights as well as weekly game nights! 

( our new traditions thanks to the kids getting older)

Going to spend the weekend at grandpas Both as groups of Girls/boys 

and do down river days as a family 

(boys already spent their weekend with Grandpa)

Possibly going to Boise for the weekend ( for daddy's work)

Silverwood 

😄

 (our first time ever at a theme park for the kids and they had a blast! so did mommy and daddy)

Then I let each kid choose one thing they absolutely WANT to do this summer

Cherry- hiking

Jaydon- family day at Aquatic center

Mack- Drive in Movie (in daddy's truck)

Emmit- wonderland 

Gracie- möbius hands on

The boys picked a father son activity 

Fishing with daddy

And the girls picked lunch out with mommy

Then we are writing down other maybe ideas... (Here's what we have)

Möbius science

Day at CDA lake

Tripleplay (this is a me choice lol)

Silver mountain (again me)

Day at riverfront park

Learn something new as a family

Fro Yo date (we've never had it)

Ice cream date

Camping (this probably won't happen but I told them we'd put it on the list)

Dinner out as a family

Trip to farmers market

Trip to green bluff

Dance party in Daddys truck

A star Gazing night in Daddys Truck

Sidewalk Chalk party

Big homemade Bubbles in the yard

We've already started marking off some stuff from the list as you can see :) 

plus we have done some pretty awesome stuff that wasn't on the list.

While the boys went to have their Grandpa weekend Cherry and Devon had their 

"Father/Daughter" date (I bought them tickets to Jurassic world as Devons fathers day present)

And Gracie, Aria and I had a tea party complete with sweet treats from "Frostings" a local bakery

We are super excited to make memories this summer and take time to enjoy this life we've created.

We hope this inpires you to make a list of your own and make memories of your own.

With love 

The Benson Bunch
