When Jenny Solar of The Happy Family Movement posted about the Summer Bucket List Challenge, I knew I had to be a part of it!
I’m one of those people that say, “YEAH! It’s finally summer! I have so many plans, I’m going to do so many things, and it’s going to AMAZING!” … then September rolls around and I realize, “Man… I only went to the beach twice this summer, I totally forgot to go see fireworks, and I didn’t even get a sunburn. What did I do all summer long?!”
Well, my friends, things are changing this summer! What started off as a small bucket list is now a list of 70 different things, for lack of a better word, that I want to do this summer! From going to the beach once a week, to eating fresh cheese curds, to doing paintball for the first time, to getting a new tattoo (Shhhhh! Don’t tell my dad
), to reading new books, to learning to salsa… there are a ton of things I want to do this summer, and I’m going to do them all!
Though I don’t have my own little “family” to join me, I’ll be dragging along my parents, my brother, my dog, and all my friends on these different excursion/actives/meals/adventures/thing to get them in on the fun, too! Each time I check something off my bucket list, I’ll take a photograph during said excursion/activity/meal/adventure/thing, and do a blog post about it. Talk about accountability, right?
Today, Wednesday May 23, is my official “OKAY! GO! START! DO IT NOW!” day to get all 70 things checked off by the end of summer! I am so, so, so excited to see what this summer has in store!!!
So without further ‘ado, here’s is my 2012 Summer Bucket List Challenge!

Pssssssssssst! … You should totally join in on the fun, too!
