It really isn't long until the summer holiday. Apart from having our Bucket List to keep us entertained we are also going to be completing 50 Things To Do Before You're 11 3/4 provided by the National Trust.
Many of the things on the list we have done over previous years but I'd love to make the most of the great outdoors with the Mini Mes and do them all again.
If you haven't heard about the 50 Things To Do Before You're 11 3/4 list before you can find out more here:

ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of list I need to read every time I get all soppy about my little ones growing up too fast - we have so many fun things ahead of us!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about 11 3/4 - seems a bit unfair to me; I'd quite like to roll down a very large hill on a day like today!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I love this list & the photo at the end. Many of these activities I love to do and am happy that my children are doing well at ticking them off. This would make a fun scrap book / photo book for them to look back on. I'm book marking this post for future reference! Just lovely xx
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Must tick some more of those things off.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely list, and spot on. I never thought of a "bucket list" for kids, but it's really true. I love that the focus is on the outdoors too. I'm gonna get on this with my daughter!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea to get kids outside. Love your photo btw
ReplyDeletewe have started this and have ticked a few of the list already i am pleased to say, some unintentional too. good luck over the summer in completing as many as you are able. x
ReplyDeleteAn interesing list! Must do one myself!
ReplyDeleteLove this list, must try and do all of these with little man and catch up on any the teen princess missed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list, quite fancy doing some of those things myself :)
ReplyDeleteIt really is a great list, must look at it properly with the boys!
ReplyDeleteGreat list - we've completed a lot but I'm going to use some we still need to for the summer bucket list. x
ReplyDeleteI would anticipate that over the summer quite a few activities will be ticked off the list, it's such a fun way to inspire children to get out and about and keep fit and healthy. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
ReplyDeleteMy little man loves to climb trees and roll down hills. I think the 50 things is a great idea, we signed up a while ago and have ticket off quite a few things already even though he is not quite three - it's great, we heart the outdoors
ReplyDeleteJust popping by from country kids

This is such a great idea - My Little Mr is probably a bit young for some of them but I think we definitely need to make a start on the list!
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm one of the National Trust parent bloggers helping to promote this campaign and am so pleased to find another family working on their 50 Things! I've actually got a linky going under my Natural Childhood tab on my blog to join up posts which show achieving one of the things on the list, I'd love it if you could join in when you've accomplished one please. Did you know that they've updated it for 2013 to make it easier to achieve? Things like 'getting behind a waterfall' are out, makes it easier for all.
ReplyDeleteNipping over from County Kids.
