Shepherd Summer Bucket List

20170520_181914

This week is all about summer time preparations. Because I’m not the best at coming up with stuff to do on the spot, I have created a ‘Summer Bucket List’. Our family goal is to complete all 92 items by the end of summer break. We have a fun chart that will show us how close we are to our goal and I have posted our check list in the loft area, so the whole family can see it. I will keep you guys updated on how our bucket list is going and I want you to let us know how you are doing on yours! We will be using the hashtags: #summerbucketlist #carveawatermelon (or whichever item you completed) & #jessiethetherapist  Here is our checklist, so feel free to take it and modify it for your family.
