Staying Afloat.....

Thank you for the birthday shout out Heather.  You are so sweet!  

I had a great birthday.....one that involved a family reunion, a midnight dash to Mesquite, a bottle of champagne and a bubble bath at 2:00 in the morning, breakfast, a hike and cliff jumping bright and early!  Yes that is how I roll these days.  Jam packed and staying afloat....barely ;)

If you haven't noticed already this is pretty consistently me and Heather's MO :).  If the plate's not full, we are hungry.  A good thing....right??

Well, I am back from my blogging sabbatical and my apologies for being a stranger.  It has been a couple of seriously CRAZY weeks for me down in the UC. 

I thought I would end my blog post with my TOP TEN SUMMER MUST DO's.

*I know...I know...summer is almost over.  I thought I would get you started on some ideas for next Summer ;).  I also really really don't want to say goodbye!

MUST DO #1: Get in a Raft

See photo above.  Disclaimer: I would not suggest a sinking one without oar mounts like mine; but aside from all of that, it is fun to get out on a lake if only for a minute. 

MUST DO #2: Hiking Date Night

If you are in Utah, Albion Basin would be my top recommendation in July or August.   A bottle of wine is always a welcome addition to a date night....My current favorite: Barefoot Red Moscato.  YUM!

MUST DO #3: Trip to the Ocean

Any ocean would do ;)

MUST DO #4: Go Camping

I know this is hard to do with little kids but trust me it is so worth it! 

MUST DO #5-Hit the Zoo

Kids and animals....Need I say more?

MUST DO #6-Play in the rain

Even if you cheat and use an umbrella....

MUST DO #7-Go on a picnic

Can't beat the atmosphere here.

MUST DO #8-Go to a Carni

I am glad it is only a once a year thing :).

MUST DO #9- Watch a Meteor Shower

Sorry no photo for this one....I tried but it was too cloudy!

MUST DO #10-Go outside and play! 

Sandstone and water make a perfect playground.

That finishes off my TOP TEN.

Things I didn't get to do this year that I really wish I would have: 

1. More Farmers Markets
2. Grow Cherry Tomatoes
3. Paint!  (It has been on my goal list)
4. Go Mountain Biking

What are your Summer Must Do's?  Maybe I can borrow some ideas to add to my next years list ;).

Welcome Fall....I will miss Summer but I sure do love your cooler temps, fresh veggies and AMAZING colors!
