Summer- bucket list style

I guess my blogging didn't get much better after my last post. Oops. Its back to school time for me. We have been back for a week of planning/organizing. Tuesday is the first day with kids, and Wednesday is my first day teaching. I guess summer is over. I know y'all have been on the edge of your seats wondering what our summer was like...

• I picked both blueberries and blackberries. 
• Shopped several times at the local farmer's market.
• I learned how to big girl can :) I made some berry syrup with a friend I (who was teaching me) and then some jalapeno jelly on my own. I also made quite a few jars of freezer jam.
• We picnicked at our secret spot on the river
• We went camping. It was fantastic.
• We stayed at the beach. It was fantastic.
• Watched a Bon Jovi tribute band at our local park
• Pigged out at the State fair (and saw the cutest baby pigs and goats!)
• I read a ton of books-I'm thinking close to 10. 
• We flew down to San Francisco to spend some time with my aunt.
• Hung out at the Rogue brewery hop farm.

I'd still like to watch something at the drive in, and I am always ready for a pedicure. We should be having some fireworks during the end of September festival our town puts on. Maybe we will still go mini golfing for a date night/afternoon one day.

Things that aren't happening:

• Our garage freezer broke this summer, so we just don't have room for my own popsicles right now (although my aunt had some fantastic watermelon/lime/jalapeno ones she had made)
• I am so far out of running shape, that a race would be torture
• Our garage is still a disaster.
• I haven't pulled out my sewing machine in quite awhile... probably jumping into something I want to wear isn't the best to start off with.

How was your summer? Did you get all of your bucket list items crossed off?
