Summer Bucket List - Save Money with Family Passes
How are you doing on your Summer Bucket List? We had a rough weekend with sick kiddos, so we didn't get to do as many things as we had hoped.
This past week we went to a couple of Parks and also Powell Gardens (near Kansas City). We had a blast. We ended up buying a Family Pass, which is going to save us a ton of money. There was so much to do there, that it was definitely worth the money. We'll be able to go back many times and explore.
This week, we're planning a trip to the Zoo and possibly Swimming. I'm also brainstorming on our 1st Annual Children's Art Show. We're going to have our friends create up to 6 pieces of Art and then we'll have them all display them as an Art Show in our Driveway. The kids are super excited about it.
Don't forget to sign up for the Summer Bucket List at The Happy Family Movement. It's a fun FREE way to stay accountable for all your summer plans for the kids.

By the way, here's the link for a Free downloadable template for a Summer Passport at HeatherCarson.net. It was super easy to make.
