We managed to knock a bunch of additional items off of our Summer Bucket List since our last update. This was not a banner season in terms of bucket list accomplishments, but I think it definitely marked a turning point in the kids' growth—they are in dire need of free down time and quite capable of entertaining themselves. They'd wake up pumped for an activity but then just ask for time to putter about. That being said, fall is definitely one of their favorite seasons and they were all about creating a new fall list!
First up, here's how we finished up summer:
16. New science exhibit -- we loved the new to us exhibits at the California Academy of Sciences!
17. New historical site -- our report on Angel Island and Alcatraz are still on the way, but I'll note that we had an unexpected amazing trip to historical Angel Island.
18. Have a picnic -- we had a lovely picnic lunch on the top of a waterfall in Yosemite—post to come this week!
19. Find a new beach -- we found new beaches at both Angel Island and in Yosemite.
20. Workbooks -- the kids were total champs at working on reading, math, and writing over the summer and completed several workbooks each.
21. Rock climbing -- Yosemite!
22. Find a waterfall -- Again, Yosemite. Our bucket list thanks you.
23. Baseball game -- G O N A T S
24. Ride in a boat -- boat to both Angel Island and Alcatraz.
25. See sunrise -- we left really early for Cali and caught the sun coming up on our ride to the airport.
26. See sunset -- and then we saw the sun go down behind Golden Gate Bridge our first night there!
27. Watch a meteor shower -- not technically a meteor shower, but I'm counting the eclipse for this one. It was super cool.
28. + 29. Two new museums -- we went to several new museums this summer, but I'll count the DeYoung and San Fransisco MOMA (post also yet to come) for this.
30. New science project -- saltwater taffy slime!
31. + 32. Two service projects -- the kids both helped their grandfather deliver food with Meals on Wheels and Cami also chopped off 10+ inches of her hair for Locks of Love.
33., 34., and 35. -- three new NPS passport stamps in California at Muir Woods, Alcatraz, and Yosemite.
Now, on to the Fall Bucket List!

What a fun list! I love a good bucket list. I like the idea of a family cooking class.
ps, it very well might be me, but I don't think your pinterest link at the end of the post is working.
