Family Bucket List


While surfing the net, with a baby sleeping in one arm and dog napping on my legs, I came across this article: 25 Activities To Do During Maternity Leave. I was intrigued.  This might give me some ideas of things to do with the kids.  I opened the article and started reading.

What I thought was just a list of activities turned out to be a Bucket List for the Family.  The author is actually doing 101 things to do in 1001 days (Heather's List).  Now, that might be a little too ambitious for me, but I have come up with our Family Bucket List.  To me, it's on going.  As we discover new things, I will add to the list.
