I could keep adding to this list but I'll stop here! Here's to making as many of these activities happen as possible!
Locals: what will you be doing this summer?
Non-locals: what will be you sure to hit up this summer in your area?
I love this list! I live in the Des Moines area as well. I love to go to wineries and listen to music while sipping on wine.
ReplyDeleteHi Katie! Love to hear from fellow Des Moinesians :) Yes, Jasper was on my list to make it to last summer and we didn't. Maybe this year!
DeleteI love this list! Can't wait to hear stories as you cross off items!
ReplyDeleteI'm entering some of my treats in the county fair for the first time, and we're hoping to build a new dining room table.
I should make a more extensive bucket list, but to be honest, right now the only things I can really put on it are:
ReplyDelete1. Get excellent grades in my first two Health Promotion classes.
2. Move to Alabama without having a "What am I doing with my life?" freakout. [OK, without having more than one. Or two. ;)]
