I love the idea of creating a summer bucket list! I’m sure this year will look different than last but it’s still doable!
Ohh I love this! We do seasonal bucket lists here!
This is the first year we’ve done it, since we can’t do our usual summer stuff. We’ll be doing them every year from now on though, it’s fun!

You’re welcome! Hope you’re having a great summer so far!
