Summer Bucket List

While I should be grading my remaining TWELVE essays (collected 60 so I'm doing pretty good!), I instead worked on my bucket list for the summer.  I just read it to Big and she got super excited . . . I guess that means we have to do these things now!  #1 is on the agenda for this Friday and we just made the final flight reservations for our trip to Hawaii (#2).  I'm hoping that some of our family will want to join us for #8 and #23.  The most unrealistic one on this list would have to be #24 but it's a wish list, right?  If you have an easy, small tent, I'd love to borrow it sometime for #12.
