Bucket Lists for Kids

Blogsurfing found me at "50 Things to do before you're 12" and "Bucket list for kids: 50 things to do before they're 12".

Reading through the lists and the comments was interesting and left me with the distinct impression that kids should get outside more and be responsible.

Some of them do concern me - especially the 'go swimming without a parent around' type.  I'm not sure I'ld be happy with the girls going swimming without adult supervision, even thought they're both strong swimmers.

I think the girls have done a lot of the things on the list - mainly because we, as a family, enjoy camping and Cubs & Scouts encourage a lot of the same activities.  However, when I get some time, I'll sit down with the girls and go through the lists and comments and see if there are any others that they want to do.

That's a great list. Yeah, a few of those will require some parental supervision.

I just stopped over from Stephens blog.
BTW, I liked the bucket list it is funny how the list changes as you get older.

Hi Duke welcome :)

Good point you've made - how the lists change as you get older. Sometimes I think it will do a lot of adults good to get out and climb a tree too!
