Bucket List

Summer might still be--officially--weeks away, but this summer lovin' fam has started on our bucket list with a bang!

Watch a Civil War Reenactment

This was supposed to be spectacular.  This was supposed to create a sense of awe in my kids.  This was supposed to wake my kids up to the marvel that is history.  It didn't deliver.  My neighbor informed us that he would be using his sixteen neighboring acres to practice a piece of a larger reenactment scheduled for later in the summer.  Come over and watch?  You bet!  He had warned us that there would be muskets and "fake" death and such; my kids were STOKED.  We must have showed up at the wrong time--the BORING time--because all we watched, for like an hour, was the North and South marching.  Marching in a circle. Marching in a straight line.  Marching.  No guns.  No cannons.  No fake death.  As we were leaving, Grant declared the Civil War the "most boring war in history."  

Go camping

McCormicks' Creek was great.  Everyone slept well, except for Momma who was right under the "window" that Daddy staked open.  As great as the park was, I left wondering why we bother: we have woods, a creek, a huge bonfire pit, and a field large enough for the whole of the neighborhood to camp.  Next camping trip=out back!

Visit a State Park Nature Center

Eat Greek food

It might be a gimmie because we LOVE Greek food and eat it like every other day month, but hey, sometimes Mommies deserve breaks too!  Opa, y'all. 

More to come... much, much more to come!
