Summer Bucket List 2014!

Early this spring,  my lovely partner came up with the idea of a "Summer Bucket List" and even took the time to construct a bulletin board for us to display in our dinning area.

(Ignore the fly tape. I know its disgusting. If you didn't notice it, forget I said anything)

Last year (before I lived here), the family packed up and moved the family and all the animals back down to our ranch in Merritt to summer there, so there wasn't a lot of time to enjoy the things that Quesnel and Williams lake areas had to offer. This summer, we decided to keep the family here and therefore we get to enjoy summer in the Caribou!

Our list includes some more specific things, like: Go to the rodeo, partake in summer reading club, see Quesnel Air Festival. While others were totally open ended, like: Have root beer floats, play in the creek, have a water fight, eat dinner outside, etc.

Thus far we have:
- Picked Saskatoon berries,
- Played in the sprinklers,
- Walked the Quesnel foot bridge

- Slip and slides (the kids have acquired 3 in the last couple months)

- Go to the bike park

- Watch a movie in the park (Dad took ALL 4 kids to this one by himself. He is a braver person than I am. Mind you we made him do it while we lined up a surprise for him here.... Which may be material for a future post..... Ooooo suspense!)

Looking at the list I am feeling quite accomplished, despite all this being the partners brain child.
