Lakata Family Summer Bucket List
When we start thinking about summer, we want to make a list of fun things to do as a family to make memories. This year we also wanted to focus on a lot of free and cheap activities. Not all of these bucket list items are free or even cheap. Some are going to be a BIG outings or activities, since we aren’t taking a family vacation. Some of these items we will most likely not be able to do (unless we win the lottery!) But this is the list of things that the Lakata’s have developed to help guide our summer. We hope you find inspiration and can do some of these activities too!
