1. Go on as Many Walks a Possible -
I have realized that my mood is dramatically improved by spending time in nature. No duh, right? I grew up in a small town and spent most of my childhood summers playing outside, fishing, walking, and swimming. For so many years of living in Greeley I didn't explore the natural spaces around me. No more, friends! A couple of years ago I began walking the trails in and around Greeley and I haven't looked back.
No matter where you live, find the green spaces.
Trust me.
2. Go to a Few Outdoor Concerts -
I love outdoor music. It's one of my favorite things about summer time and the fact that most of the outdoor music events in my town are free is just the cherry on top! Even if it's not my favorite style of music, being outdoors makes any concert worthwhile.
I hope to make it to many of these dates as I can!

3. Eat All the Watermelon-
This is my goal every year and I try my hardest to eat enough watermelon to make up for all the winter months when you can't buy any.
That is my burden & I'll carry it gracefully.

4. Catch as Many Colorado Sunsets as Possible -
I've been doing a pretty good job of this already this summer.
5. Visit a Waterpark & Go Swimming as Much as Possible -
I have always loved water & swimming and summertime is my time to shine when it comes to aqatics! I've never been to WaterWorld, so I think this might be the summer! You'll also find me out at Windsor Lake whenever I have a chance!
6. Go on a Road Trip -
I'm taking two classes this summer and starting a new job, so my free time to travel is pretty limited. That said, I'd love to take a short roadtrip, even if it's just for the day. Maybe we can go to Mount Rushmore? Maybe hit up Two Rivers Winery & Chateau & the Colorado National Monument for a long weekend? Maybe we'll just go back to MeowWolf (oh please, oh please)! I don't know what we'll do, but I'm sure it will be fun!

7. Garage Sale Shop Every Weekend -
8. Go to the Drive-Inn -
The town over from ours has a fabulous double-feature vintage drive-inn & I haven't been in years! I would love to go this summer if the right movies come through!
9. Go to a Carnival (Completed) -
When I was a kid, the city of Craig hosted a Memorial Day carnival and it was always felt like the start of summer. While Greeley boasts the Greeley Stampede, it's never quite felt the same. I hope to find a small town carnival somewhere in Northern Colorado to me this summer wish come true!
10. Go Paddle Boating (Completed) -
We accomplished this in early June and I couldn't be happier! I've wanted to go paddle boating at our local swim beach for the last five years and Rick and I finally made it happen a few Sundays ago. We still have a token to our local paddleboat place, so we're planning on going again soon!
