You know, my list where I have very lofty goals for the summer to make it educational, fun, and extremely memorable? And I usually finish about a quarter of them?
But at least I have goals.
Summer 2010
carnival at art city days
grow sunflowers
make our own bubbles
run a 10k
stand in the ocean (ten days!)
make a pinata
grow butterflies
take a ride in a '53 chevy (this is a whole other post, but the engine is finally at our house!)
help mae start a journal
demolition derby
get glitter toes (appointment friday)
learn about and visit the smoot's bees
pick your own strawberries or raspberries (cherries?)
do the summer reading program at the library (mae AND i joined today!)
ride the carousel at zermatt (we have lots of tokens. want to come?)
go camping
do a triathlon (DONE!)
picnic at salem pond
attend the utah scottish festival and highland games
watch a movie on our back patio
swimming lessons for mae
and here are a few that have been on my list for the last few years. that i still haven't done. but i will do them this year. or die trying.
ride bikes from bridal veil falls to utah lake
go to cove fort
watch the hot air balloons
play a game of kickball
and, if i can swing it, i'd really really like to take jayson to moab this summer.
of course, i haven't included fishing, visiting thanksgiving point weekly, playing in the fountain at the gateway, swimming at veterans pool, etc because those will happen without planning.
ready, set, GO!

One of my favorite stories from the book Glimpses about Marjorie Pay Hinckley is a letter she wrote to a grandson. This is basically what she said,
"I made a goal to read a chapter a day from each of the standard works. I'm five days in, and only four days behind. Oh well! Better to try and fail than to never try at all!"
I loved that. I'm all about setting goals. And failing to achieve most of them. :)
I'm with Janae--lots of fun goals, still working on 99% of them.
I have to say, though--YOU are VERY good at achieving yours!! HELLO! TRI-ATHLETE!!!
I also have to say, your summer goal list is one of my favorite things on your blog...it is inspiring and makes me smile! :)
you can pick your own cherries at our house when they come on. They usually are on now, but I think the frost confused my trees.
I love it!!!!
Looks like you're going to have a lot of fun. Jealous!
Are you running the 4th 10k? That is the one I am going to run, I am really scared to do 6 miles in a race, but that is why I am doing it! Let me know if you are! Hope all is well. I love the goals, make sure to call us when you come to THanksgiving point we would love to go with you!
OOOOooo. I am so glad you put up your list. I was just thinking the other day about your summer list and how I love reading it. I need to make me one of those!!!
Your summer lists always make me happy.
(And our sunflowers are in full bloom right now!)
Every time I read your blog I think about what a neat person you are. Honest. And what lucky girls Penny and Mae are to have you for their mom.
I want to do lots of these things, too. I hadn't thought of making a list of what we wanted to do this summer and think it's a great idea.
