3-year Blogiversary & 2014 Summer Bucket List

20140601-221046.jpgSo apparently it’s common in the blogging world to celebrate the yearly date of your first blog post aka your “blogiversary.” I’m sorry I don’t have any freebies to give away but I wanted to say thanks to everyone who has read, commented and supported me with this blog over the past three years. I had no idea what a resource it would become and am tickled whenever I meet someone new and discover they’ve visited the blog for outing ideas! I’ve loved exploring the Greater Raleigh Parks & beyond over the past three years and am continuously amazed by the facilities and activities we discover.

But now that preschool is over for the school year it’s time to set some goals for new (and old) places to visit and things to do this summer! In no particular order, here’s my kiddo-friendly summertime bucket list:

  1. Congrats on your “blogiversary,” Kris!! This means you started this when Ashley was only about 3 months old – wow. We have enjoyed every blog and all the pictures, too. You are a great photographer. We hope you get to fulfill every item in your awesome bucket list this summer. 😀

  2. It’s been such fun to vicariously visit the parks with you and the little offspring through these three years. Would that every little kid had such inventive and responsive parents. Your summer list is impressive… and, so add, lie in the grass and find figures in the clouds… and soap bubbles. Add glycerine to make them last longer! Much love to you all. Grandma Bev
