Bucket Lists are loads of fun! So why not sit down with you family, kids, husband, parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, whoever wants to take part in this awesome adventure and make your own!
Family unity stems from togetherness. We have to spend time together, if we plan to build relationships that will last through the eternities. Memories go a long way in life, and help you draw close to the people you experience them with. When I was 16, I hiked Half Dome in Yosemite with my Dad and two younger sisters. It was probably one of the best experiences of my life thus far, but it would not have been very special if it was just me at the top of rock by myself. Family makes the difference.
Take the time to make your bucket list, and let each child turn in ideas about what you can do! It doesn't have to fall under any guidelines or rules, just list everything out! You don't even have to complete the list, in fact, you should keep adding to it!
Once again, Pintrest can help you make a project out of this idea if you'd like! Just type in Bucket List into the search bar and tons of ideas will come up!
I threw together some ideas of what I would like to do with my husband before the year ends! Let's see how many we can actually accomplish between our busy schedules!

Wholesome Family recreation will help you children draw inwards to the family unit. It will help them build memories that they will one day want to pass down to their own families. Keep the family unit and the principle of the family strong by instilling these principles in your own kids at an early age! I promise that these memories will stick with them and will often become topics of conversation in future family get-togethers!
