Every summer season I try to compile a summer bucket list of activities that I hope we can all do as a family. And even though we’re still trying to figure out life with two kiddos, that won’t stop us from enjoying the warm weather season. So today I’m sharing our bucket list of activities… hoping we will be able to check off as many as possible over the next several months…

1. Desert trip to Palm Springs, and take Harper to The Living Desert
2. Outdoor movie night
3. Make ice cream sandwiches
4. Picnic at a winery
5. Sunset dinner on the beach
6. Attempt one family hike at our favorite spot in Laguna Beach
7. Family trip to our cabin in the mountains so we can take Harper (and of course Camille) fishing… it’s something I used to do every summer when I was little
8. A weekend trip to the Santa Barbara Zoo
9. At least one outdoor BBQ with friends and their kiddos (it can be so hard to get everyone together these days)
10. Plant a vegetable garden… we already started a flower garden with sunflowers….
11. Collect + paint rocks…. Harper is obsessed with rocks….
12. Take the train down to San Juan Capistrano for the morning + grab breakfast then head to the petting zoo
13. Outdoor water balloon toss… great for those late summer evenings when we just need to be outside…
14. Walk to our favorite farmers market for some fresh summer finds
15. Take a duffy ride (an electrical boat) for an afternoon in Newport Beach (Harper has her eye on a pink one she sees every time we are down there….)

And since all those activities require good summer attire, I’m making sure we’re all outfitted accordingly thanks to Walmart. They have some of the cutest summer clothing pieces for toddlers + newborns… at great prices with excellent quality… and on trend items for me. I couldn’t resist this flouncy little white dress (also comes in black) for the summer months (everyone needs an LWD for summertime)… an easy throw on and go piece that easily transitions from day to night. Harper picked out her little California casual stripe romper + straw tote bag (and immediately filled it with markers + bracelets….)…. and I added this boater hat to my summer collection (the inside is adjustable to fit all head sizes…). I love that Walmart has incredibly quick shipping, so if we decide on any last minute activities, and need some apparel to go along with it, we’ll receive most items within two day. A one stop shop for all things summer…. saving time so we can get back to doing all the fun stuff we love!

Would love to know any of your summer bucket list items!
