50 Things To Do Before You're 11 3/4

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.

  4. I 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!

  5. Oh 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

  7. Really 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!

  15. I 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.

  17. 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!

  18. Hello! 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.

    Nipping over from County Kids.
