The Family Minute – Father/Daughter Bucket List

Today's topic on The Family Minute with Mark Merrill is "the Father/Daughter Bucket List." 

Mark discussed how quickly time passes between your daughter dancing with you in the kitchen to dancing with her husband at their wedding.

What do you want to put on your "bucket list" with your daughter?  How can you make the most of your time with the kids?
