2017 Summer Bucket List

Does anybody else out there consider Memorial Day Weekend to be the official kickoff to summer? We we definitely do around here! And with that, I thought it only fitting that I write up our summer bucket list, so without further ado, here are a few things we are hoping to do this summer!

Camping! We'll quickly cross this off our list as we have a Memorial Day camping trip planned for the long weekend. 

Lots and lots of lazy evening walks to The Scoop! 

Elkfest down in Browne's Addition is another yearly favorite. 

What's summer without cracker jacks and a baseball game? I'm hoping to introduce Lincoln to his first minor league game this summer. 

4th of July Fireworks! 

While it's no Disneyland, I'm so excited to take little man to his first theme park! Silverwood is a must for the Alexander family this summer. 

It's not summer without a trip, or two or three to Hat Island! We're headed there toward the end of June and hopefully again in August for a girl's weekend and a family trip for Labor Day. 

You can find past Hat Island recaps here, here , here, here , here and here!

Splash Pads! We're lucky to live near to one of our favorite city parks, complete with a splash pad. I can picture us here on plenty of hot weekends. 

Pig Out in the Park! A Spokane staple...we'll definitely be hitting up Pig Out for yummy eats and delicious treats at the end of the summer. 

Movies in the park! Another favorite from last year...I'm really hoping we can make it to Grease, Ghostbusters, Moana and The Princess Bride!

Greenbluff! It is always so fun to visit during the fall and winter for pumpkins and Christmas trees, but it's also such a great place to pick summer peaches, blueberries and other treats! 

And of course there will be plenty of sunburns, sprinklers, BBQs and ice cream cones throughout!
