I read Lisa Morrow’s BlogHer post about making a family bucket list and decided this was something I really wanted to do with my family. So, after dinner this evening, we did. Here are the things we hope to do together this year.

  1. Play Uno.
  2. Camp out.
  3. Plan and plant a garden.
  4. Eat out.
  5. Get a family portrait taken.
  6. Go geocaching and have a picnic.
  7. Put together more puzzles.
  8. Get a new pet for the family. (This was Julia’s. She’s the ony one that believes our 1,462 cats, 1 dog and 7 fish aren’t enough.)
  9. Eat ice cream.
  10. Go to a water park.
  11. Go to COSI.
  12. Spend a day in Dresden.
  13. Go to the mall and not buy anything. Except maybe Auntie Anne’s.
  14. Spend the day at a lake.
  15. Go to the McKinley Museum.
  16. Put more pictures on the walls.
  17. Get a plant.
  18. Borrow a movie from the library.
  19. Do a science experiment.
  20. Build a bird house and hang it up high.

That seems reasonable.

    Dresden the German city? That would be an awesome goal casually slipped on the list

    I want to try geocaching too! I love this idea and your list is very inspirational.

    Goofball – Dresden, Ohio. It’s only the basket captial of the world!!!! Or maybe just the U.S. I’m not sure. But it’s the kind of place old ladies who wear hats go. I LOVE it.

    Your family bucket list is waaay better than New Year’s Resolutions which are usually about not doing stuff ~ like not eating too much ~ that it’s refreshing. Our family’s personal favorites are playing Uno and doing more puzzles. Even though my boys are in their teens we still find time to play games. I would like to do more puzzles though, which we usually do at parties or on vacation ~ go figure. Thanks for the thoughful post!
