What fun things are on your summer bucket list? I've been having a blast with my 18 mo old going to the playground, library, friends' pools on my summer Friday's off, but I feel so boring - we do the same things over and over - I want to have a list of things so that we make some good memories this summer. What fun summer things do you like doing with your toddler?

We go to the park closest to our house, but I'm planning for us to go to a few others. Next weekend we are going to one with a small train for kids to ride on. We took LO to a parade this weekend and are planning to go out for ice cream today. We went to the zoo earlier in the summer with the ILs. We have also done little things like sidewalk chalk and bubbles outside.

Here are some of my ideas for a summer bucket list for my 2yo:
Bake cookies for neighbors
Paint rocks
splash pad
Storytime
zoo
Children's museum
Go fly a kite
Go on a picnic
Go to science and nature center
Go on a bug hunt
Go to a bounce house place
Build a fort
Make playdoh
Go to a pet store -
Go on a hike? Is there a place you can take a short walk (longer if you carry her?) A creek to wade in/throw rocks into. That's my boys' favorite thing to do!

I had a longer list, but had scaled down b/c of pregnancy and DD honestly has fun doing the "same stuff" anyway.
Beach
Zoo (or petting zoo, animal farm, etc)
Aquarium
Public pool (where there's a kiddie pool/spray park) -
Here's ours! LO is 2.5 and helped me make it and has been very excited about crossing things off.
