Gone fishin'.
Gone boatin'.
Swam in the lake.
Swam in a pool.
Ventured a bit into a forest.
Sat on a dock. – Although it was just on a pond in my aunt and uncle's backyard... that doesn't quite seem to count, does it?
Paddle boated.
Had a cookout with the family.
Read a book outside.
Took pictures of fields and flowers.
Got a sunburn.
Went to a parade.
Went to a baseball game. – My brother's.
Sat around a few campfires.
Ate s'mores.
Ate a popsicle.
Got ice cream at the new ice cream shop in town. – More times than I'd care to admit.

Discovered a new {rather seedy} little bar. Where I:
Had my first shot of whiskey, andLearned how to play the stomp fiddle. – No joke.
Got caught in the rain. – And my mom and I sang Harden My Heart as we walked {rather quickly} home. We had just seen Rock of Ages in theaters. We amuse ourselves.
Now, for the wishin' portion of this post. Here are the things I still need to do this summer:
✓ Sit on a dock on a lake.
Fish off said dock.
✓ Go to an outdoor concert. – I will be doing this come time for the fair. But I envy the people who seem to go to outdoor concerts and music festivals all summer long.
✓ Eat fair food. (Corn dogs, cheese curds, mini-donuts, ice cream, and much more – check!)
✓ Drink a Bud Light Lime.
Go to a Brewers baseball game.
Discover a new used book store. – And by "new" I mean one I've never been to before. In case that was confusing.
Visit a large museum.
✓ Wear the maxi dress I bought weeks ago.
✓ Go to an outdoor movie. – Luckily this should be getting crossed off the list in a few days!
✓ Go to an outdoor art fair. – Luckily this should be getting crossed off the list this weekend!
✓ Take more walks.
Go on more bike rides.
Eat more popsicles.
Stay at an RV resort. – A summer tradition we always save until the end of summer.
Write a postcard.
Finish my summer reading list.
Go to a bonfire on a beach. – This one will not happen for me. I do not live anywhere near the beach. However, when I think of summer I picture a group of teenagers having a bonfire on the beach, like in the movies or on Laguna Beach. I think it needs to be added to my bucket list.
That should keep me busy until the end of the summer, but if you can think of anything I should add, let me know!
