August Bucket List

Posted by Nicole Doud on

We love a fun Bucket List for things to do on Mackinac Island! As we head back to school later this month (can you believe that?!) I want to make sure that the boys and I do all the fun Mackinac things that we haven't done yet this summer or that we want to do one more time! 
Bike Ride around M-185: Of course we need to do this one more time before the summer is over and the days are shorter! With all the boys riding bikes now, it's a fun family adventure to take the long way home and do the entire perimeter of the island. 
Movie at the Fort: Always a fun experience for the entire family! We bring special snacks from Doud's Market, big blankets to get comfy on and stay up way past bedtime! Movies at the Fort are a fun family outing that I love to go to whenever they are playing.
Lunch at the Tea Room: This is more on my bucket list than it is on the boy's list for fun things to do! But it's such a fun time for the family - I love the environment and the views, plus the food is delicious! 
Camp in the Backyard: We have to get in at least one more backyard campout with hot dogs and s'mores over the fire! I grew up doing this and I love that the boys enjoy it so much! Plus, it's so fun on Mackinac to fall asleep to the clip clop of the horses. 
Pool Days at the Grand: I feel like we haven't had enough of these this summer! I know the boys definitely want to get in a few more nighttime swims before it's too cold outside! 
More Picnics at Marquette Park: It's so easy to grab picnic supplies from Doud's Market and head to the park for a night of family fun. We pack an easy card game, people watch and just have fun being outside together. I want our family to do more of these before the summer is over! 
Evening Swim at British Landing: This is must do at least once a summer! It's so fun on the especially hot days to hop on our bikes and head to British Landing for a dip in the cold Great Lakes! It's always such a fun time and good memories are made. 
Golf at Wawashkamo: The boys are getting more into golfing, so we can head up there together as a family to play a shorter round of golf! Definitely a must do at least once a summer to keep my golfing skills on par! 
This is our August Bucket List of go to things to do on Mackinac! I'm curious - what would be your #1 things to do for your August Mackinac Bucket List?
