50+ Summer Bucket List Ideas for Utah 2018

To be honest, I've been a little stressed out about having the kids home for the summer. It's been so nice, especially for Em to have the daily structure of preschool in her life everyday. I've been nervous about whether or not I can come up with enough engaging things to do, or things that will take up enough time in our days that we don't feel like we're stuck in the house twiddling our thumbs all summer. I spent about an hour last week coming up with all these summer bucket list ideas, and then I sat down and marked them all into my calendar so that we have a plan of when we're going to do everything. As of right now, I literally have everyday of summer break planned with something. Obviously if something else comes up that is more fun, or we get invited to do something with friends, we'll do that instead, but it's nice to know we have something to do everyday if nothing else.
