What is a Bucket List?
A bucket list is a list of things you’d like to do or accomplish in a given timeframe. A bucket list is generally considered to be a list of things to do before you die (or “kick the bucket,” hence the term), but people often create a list that corresponds to different seasons (or seasons of life) as well.
Our summer bucket list is full of summer activities and fun ideas for the whole family to enjoy!
