This year we created a family wish jar. As the sun is currently setting on the last day of the year I thought I should look back and see what we managed to cross off before making our new one tomorrow.
Our 2017 Family Bucket List
- Go to Lego Land – We didn’t manage to go thanks to the rubbish summer weather, but we have tickets for next year.
- Pick our own strawberries at a PYO fruit farm – We went and they had run out so this was a fail!
- Go on a bike ride all together – somehwere like Grapham water (I need to get a bike still!) – I STILL need to get a bike, so didn’t manage this one.
Bake browniesHave a family holiday abroadWe went to Spain in the half term and had a lovely timeGo on a camping/glamping tripWe camped in James’ Mum’s back garden but the tent was faulty so another fail. BUT we hopefully have a glamping trip to look forward to in the new year/Toast marshmallows– the boys have both done this with cubs and beavers but we haven’t done it all together so I’m not crossing it off yet. UPDATE: We managed to do this all together.- Watch a sunrise and a sunset together – We’ve done a sunset on holiday but not a sunrise yet.
- Visit Centre Parcs – Not managed this as the prices out of term time are insane!
Have a night away with no kidsCheck out our trip to Nice with a proposalVisit a new placeGo sledging- Take the boys to see a musical
Go to the cinema as a family (Ava to have her first cinema trip)We went to see Boss Baby all together and she lasted over an hour!- Pick our own christmas tree at a christmas tree farm – We got a real tree but not a pick your own one, so we semi ticked this off.
- Surf – We only went to Devon for a few days so didn’t have time for this one.
- Go to a festival
- Climb a hill
