2016 Summer Bucket List: We almost finished it!


One of my favorite days of the year has finally arrived.  The day I get to spend the next 81 days with my family!  We love summer vacation in our house.  It's a time for all 5 of us to be home together...all.day.long.  I probably should say that we love this time of year for the first 6 weeks or so, then we all need a little break...from each other.  Just kidding...sort of.
The bucket list this summer is a compilation of all of our ideas.  Ok most of these are my ideas but you can probably see who actually picked what.  LOL
