Family Summer Bucket List 2021 (50+ ideas!)

Inside: You’ll love this family summer bucket list for 2021 with lots of fun (and not redundant) ideas like making popsicles, going to the lake, attending a baseball game, and more! Plus, I share tips on how to get your car ready for all of these summer activities with Kelley Blue Book’s Service and Repair Guide.

Summer is probably my favorite season.

I love the warm nights, schedule-free days, and endless amounts of activities.

But with all of the summer fun, it can be hard to keep track of all the great things there are to do.

So I created a family summer bucket list for you!

I’ve broken it down into categories so you can choose one activity from each category every week or however you’d like to do it.

There are still plenty of weeks left of summer to cross several of these off your list, and I bet you’ve done a lot of them already.

Getting Your Car Ready For Summer

We all know that most summer fun requires a reliable vehicle, and that’s where Kelley Blue Book’s Service and Repair Guide comes in!

If your car has been sitting idle this past year, it’s probably time to take it in for a routine maintenance check. The Service and Repair Guide on KBB.com can help you determine which services your car will need based on how many miles it has.

The guide can also alert you to any recalls related to your specific make and model of car.

My favorite part is that the Service and Repair Guide gives you expected repair pricing so if something does come up during your maintenance check, you’ll know if the car shop is giving you an honest price on the repairs.

I always like to get a routine check whenever I take our cars in for an oil change, but if you’re heading out on a long trip this summer, I definitely recommend using a trusted resource like the Service and Repair Guide on KBB.com to see what maintenance your car needs. Kelley Blue Book also provides a list of repair centers specific to your make of car so you’ll know your car is in good hands.
