Father’s Day is celebrated each year in the U.S. on the third Sunday in June. This year that is June 15.
It would be a nice gesture to do something for your host dad. You could help the children make a surprise for her or give him a card yourself. Don’t forget to send a special message to your own father, back home.

Mother’s Day is celebrated each year in the U.S. on the second Sunday in May. This year that is May 11. It is always a nice gesture to do something for your host mom. You could help the children make a surprise for her or give her a card yourself. Any gesture is appreciated. Don’t forget to send a special message to your own mom back home. Without her love and support, you wouldn’t be here today. 🙂

The term “bucket list” was popularized in the 2007 Jack Nicholson/Morgan Freeman movie. The idea is to make a list of things you want to do before you “kick the bucket” (which is an idiom referring to death.) Even though that sounds kind of morbid, the idea has taken off as something much more positive and people create bucket lists to log the things they want to do at some point in their life.
With that said, a Summer Bucket list is a list of things to do before this summer ends.
