Summer goals

So much to do, so little time. There is no way we can do everything but here are a few of the things we think would be fun to do this summer:
1. Attend the temple (Washington DC is our assigned temple but it is far away so we will most likely go to Manhattan).
2. Visit Jason (Sam's college friend who lives in New Jersey).
3. Visit Libby (family friend from Mesa who is currently living in NYC).
4. Go to Hershey Park
5. Register Sam's car
6. Paint Alex's dresser, crib, and changing table

11. Attend multiple IronPigs games

13. Camping in the Poconos
14. Buy a car (and sell my car)
15. Hill Cumorah Pageant
16. Learn how to use my camera
17. Go to Sonic
18. Scrapbook

What a great list! Should "cut my hair" be included? (I'm firmly in the cut-it camp. :-) Change is so freeing.)

I hope we get to do some of those things on your list with you!

The Host is on my summer reads to-do list too...I'll let you know how I felt about it if I get around to reading it...the book is gathering dust. :(

I love lists like these, but I haven't made one in awhile. I think part of me says, "You know you're not REALLY going to do all of that," so I don't. I should be better at that though.

I did so much of that as a kid (Poconos, Crayola Factory, Hershey Park) and they are all worth it I promise.

And muhlenberg college, are you planning on going to grad school?

Goose Girl is a great book. I'm actually in the middle of reading it again ;) I really like it though it is aimed more for young adult fiction I still enjoy a little fantasy/adventure ;)

Ellie - I added "cut hair" to the list. I'm not sure if I am going to get to it this summer though! I hate it a little less now.
