I think it has become a part of my Summer Bucket List tradition to put together my "to-dos" when the summer is already half way over.
And yet, I don't feel like my summer is complete unless I complete this crazy task. It's almost like a contract to myself that I'll get off my lazy ass and enjoy what has always been my favorite time of the year.
So, drumroll please...
This summer I plan to:
-Ingest a ridiculous amount of snow cones (especially now that we've identified the Snow Shack closest to our house)
-Go camping
-Take Miles swimming at the city pool(s) until he starts actually looking like a fish
-Hike to a waterfall
-Move into our new home (fingers crossed that this one goes as smoothly as possible!)
-Do at least a little bit of summer reading
-Campfire and s'mores
-Spend more time up at the cabin
-Start a workout routine with Brett
-Make as many trips to Zion (and the other National Parks) as the million degree weather down here will permit
-Finish organizing the photos on my computer (ok, so maybe this one is more like wishful thinking!)
-Roast our butts off in the Vegas heat at an outdoor July wedding
-Pre-order our copy of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh on DVD
-Take a bubble bath all by myself and catch up on some reading
-Give Miles a haircut (if I can convince myself to part with his adorable curls!)
-Come up with a school plan for Brett
-Have a game night
-Birthday dinner at Cheesecake Factory (and maybe even Tucanos--I'm getting full just thinking about it...)
-Housewarming party!
-Teach Miles a legitimate word
-Try not to die of heatstroke
The End.

Summer Bucket List Part III
Wow.
The summer is nearly over (*cry*) and I still have yet to create my traditional summer bucket list. I guess better late than never, right?
I've also decided to keep my "never ending to-do list" separate from the my CRAZY FUN bucket list. That way when I look at it, I don't get depressed and overwhelmed like I did two years ago after returning to this.
Unfortunately, there were some things on last summer's bucket list that had to be given up due to the fact that Miles was growing inside of me (eew!). So let's start by transferring those to this year's list and actually making them a reality...
1. Lagoon with friends.
2. Sunday bike rides. (Ok, really this will now have to be walks because last summer we dug our bikes out of the shed only to realize that the tires are un-pumpably flat. Either that or we are both just too stupid to operate the tire pump, which is also a likely possibility.)
3. Lose 5 pounds and 2.5% body fat. Oh wait, let's make that: lose 20 pounds and as much body fat as possible!
4. Camping and paintball with the fam.
5. Get both cars deep cleaned. (Yeah, I think last summer I was just too lazy for this... Not sure how much of that had to do with actually being pregnant...)
Wow, that was a lot to carry over. Now let's add fun things to the list that we've already done this summer. Is that ridiculously lame and pathetic? Well in case you haven't seen me lately, I've pretty much become ridiculously lame and pathetic.
6. Carnival fun.
7. Take Miles to Seven Peaks a bunch.
8. Warped Tour!!! (You can read all about it in one of my previous posts.)
9. Fourth of July festivities in Milford.
10. Double date nights with the sis and cousins.
Now let's finish this thing off with a bang!
11. Take Miles to the beach for the first time.
12. Swanson family reunion fun in St. George.
13. Eat tons of snowcones (BTW- best snow cone shack ever is at the Will's Canyon Stop just before Provo Canyon. $1.50 gets you the world's biggest snowcone. Brain freeze, anyone?)
14. Finish reading the Hunger Games series with Brett, along with the rest of my summer reading list (which will likely be the topic of my next blog post).
15. Hike somewhere that has a waterfall.
16. Campfire and s'mores.
17. Picnic at the park.
18. Swapmeet at Coalville.
19. Watch the olympics on t.v.
20. Try to start conquering my ever growing and never ending to-do list (also likely to be one of my next blog posts).
Is there even enough of the summer left to enjoy such delights? I sure hope so.
