The Colorado Kid Adventure Bucket List

Our family runs on fresh air. Here's a year of little-kid adventures — check them off together, one muddy, magical outing at a time. (Works anywhere with seasons, not just Colorado.)

🌸 Spring

  • ☐ Splash in the season's first puddle
  • ☐ Find 5 signs that spring is here
  • ☐ Plant one thing and watch it grow
  • ☐ Fly a kite on a windy hill
  • ☐ Hunt for bugs under a log

☀️ Summer

  • ☐ Learn to cast a fishing rod at the lake
  • ☐ Camp — even if it's the backyard
  • ☐ Skip rocks / build a dam in a creek
  • ☐ Watch a sunset all the way down
  • ☐ Roast marshmallows + tell a silly story

🍂 Fall

  • ☐ Crunch through the biggest leaf pile
  • ☐ Hike to see the aspens turn gold
  • ☐ Collect pinecones for a "nature bowl"
  • ☐ Pick apples or pumpkins
  • ☐ First campfire in a cozy sweater

❄️ Winter

  • ☐ Catch snowflakes on your tongue
  • ☐ Sled the same hill 100 times
  • ☐ Build a snow fort (or a very small snowman)
  • ☐ Make animal tracks in fresh snow
  • ☐ Come home to cocoa + dry socks

The always-pack-it list

  • Layers + a spare set of everything. Wet kid = adventure over. Dry socks save the day.
  • Snacks. More snacks. Then water. A hungry 4-year-old on a trail is a whole weather system.
  • Let them lead (a little) + go slow. The adventure IS the slow. Poke the mud. Watch the ant. That's the memory.
