our summer bucket list

We are pretty much in the midst of summer here.  I'm so happy that I still have 3 months left on my maternity leave (I go back to work full time as of September...so sad).  With that 3 months I feel that I should make the absolute best use of my time at home with Liam...especially since the weather should be glorious.  I saw this summer bucket list idea on momma b & baby boy, such a great idea!!  Bethany inspired me to do up a list of our own.  Totally sidetracked me from what I should be doing...housework, laundry, weed the garden, etc...but who wants to do all that boring stuff anyways?

So here is our summer bucket list...

~ have a bbq in Bowness park

~ meet Rob downtown for a picnic lunch (on a work day) in the park

~ take more photos

~ make rhubarb popsicles

~ eat strawberries from our garden

~ play in the paddling pool in the backyard

~ make frozen fruity drinks

~ go to pick your own fruit farms

~ visit family in the okanagan

~ go to the zoo
~ eat breakfast outside in the garden
~ throw a summer ADULT ONLY dinner party (sorry Liam)
