School is out and now you get to hang with those fun tweens and teens. 82 days for this family until the start of sophomore year and 7th grade for our kids.
I like a good list, and my older daughter likes to make her own too! I have complied a fun Summer Bucket List of ideas for these older kiddos this summer.
Hope you find a few that make your summer a little more fun.

Go on a sunrise or sunset hike. Or just a simple wake up for the sunrise with a yummy cup of cocoa and donut.
Host a backyard BBQ for family and friends
Try paddleboarding or kayaking
Plan a camping adventure, even if it’s just in the backyard
Visit a Water Park or Amusement Park
Try out a new sport; Pickleball, Skateboarding, Ultimate Frisbee (this one could be fun for the adults too)
