The 2013 Summer Bucket List

Wooohoo!  Summer has made it to Northern Wisconsin.  Just this week I stowed away the winter jackets, hats and mitts.  Hopefully we won't need them for a few months.

With summer vacation comes our annual bucket list.  Without a summer bucket list, it is pretty easy be consumed by the busyness of day to day life (laundry, vacuuming, etc.) but with the bucket list in hand we have a plan to experience as much as possible.  Life is short, so we are going to live it up. 

• Como Zoo
• Mini Golfing
• Go Carting
• Valleyfair Amusement Park
• Concert at Big Top Chautaqua
• Copper Falls
• Pioneer Village in Cameron
• Noah's Ark in Wisconsin Dells
• Picnic in the rose gardens in Duluth
• Beach day on Madeline Island
• Berry picking in Bayfield
• Beach day at Friendly Valley Beach
• Chicago Museums

I asked the kids what they want to do for their bigger summer vacation this year:  either Mt. Rushmore or Chicago and they chose Chicago!

And our garden is finally done - 37 tomato plants, 20 pepper plants, etc. - since we have a new spot I'm really hoping and praying it does well!  I'll be sure to keep you posted.

The finished garden and new addition to our back yard - still a work in progress

What do you have for summer plans?

Thanks for reading,
