In any case, Spring is here, or at least that is what my calendar says. So, I've decided to make a bucket list of things to do this spring. I wonder how many I'll be able to check off my list.
Spring 2012 Bucket List.
Family Goals
- Renew our seasonal park passes. We usually get a State Park pass as well as a pass to a nearby park that has mini golf, two great playgrounds, a splash pad, a train, bumper boats, and lots of tables to picnic at.
- Take Malone on a hike. I am not a hiker so this will be out of my comfort zone a bit. However, Mike loves to hike. Also, I am afraid of ticks which are everywhere out here.
- Go on at least four outings/play dates with another family.
- Attend church on a regular basis as family.
- Have a monthly date with my husband.
- Start taking my friends up on their babysitting swap offers.
- Plan an overnight date with my husband.
