Mother and Sons Bucket List

Most of us have heard of a bucket list, but what about a Mother and Son Bucket List, if you have boys?

I just love having fun with my children – the more adventurous, the better! In fact, I really think that part of the reason children are in our lives is to remind us to have FUN again, don’t you think?

Children have this inbuilt ability to be carefree and just enjoy life. No one has to teach them; As adults though we sometimes unlearn this habit of having fun.

I’ve ticked off those we’ve done already (not that we can’t or won’t do them again, and again – and again. We probably will…)

So, here are 50 Fun Things to do with Your Son :

1. Go Quad Bike riding together

We did this in the Sinai Desert in Egypt – fun, but actually really bumpy!

2. Swim in an Aqua Park together

We’ve done this lots of times – at Center Parcs in England (when they were about 3 and 5 years old), in Egypt, in Guildford & in the Bracknell area. They’ve also done it themselves at birthday parties.
My boys LOVE water-slides and wave pools.

8. Take him to a ‘High Tea’ in a posh hotel

We went to St Ermin’s Hotel in London, with a friend and her two boys. Us ladies had the usual high tea with little sandwiches, macaroons and dainty cupcakes – and the boys had a ‘Superhero’ High Tea themed especially with boys in mind. I was surprised at how they loved it!

9. Barbecue (or eat fish & chips together) on the beach at sundown


10. Go Sailing together


11. Waterski together

12. Read a funny book

We’ve read a lot of wild and wacky books together – and even though they don’t need me to read to them anymore, I still sometimes read from a funny book to them…

13. Take a Boat Trip


14. Take a Mission Trip together

I’d like to do this perhaps in a few years’ time – take them to help with emergency aid if possible or to visit an orphanage or child that we sponsor through an organisation called Compassion.

15. Have a Pancake Feast


16. Have a Chocolate Fondue night


17. Have a Games Night together


18. Play Cards

There’s a number of places where you can go glamping in England – this was the Medieval Glamping at Leeds Castle. My husband & I slept in a 4-poster bed inside the tent! Nothing like camping when you arrive to a plush tent already up & waiting just for you. 🙂
