Hear ye, Hear ye! Hark!
Now that Summer Solstice has passed and we are officially in the groove of our summer thang, how appropriate that our friends at Popina have offered to give away THREE Jantzen vamp suits (red or black) to ETST readers. Popina Swimwear offers a fantastic selection of retro swimwear. I happen to love vintage swimwear for how it looks, but it does offer the bonus of actually covering your butt and holding everything in and up in a flattering way. Think Esther Williams.
New bathing suits must have fun summer events to accompany them though, so behold…the official summer bucket list.
We’ve made fresh flower crowns, kayaked under the moon, picked strawberries and hosted a lemonade stand at a corner in our neighborhood.
What’s left?
Lots.
Like:
* Walk the beach at sunrise
* Lay blankets outside late at night and look at stars
* Outdoor movie
* Sleepover with friends
* Third Street Farmer’s Market
* Pool Party
* Hang tons of twinkly lights from lanai
* Take family to outdoor concert
* Go to St. Augustine
* Make a Beach Nature Journal
* Take a yoga class
* Decorate our bikes with streamers and spoke beads
* Water Balloon Toss
* Go fishing from the pier
* Sunset cruise
* Go bowling
* Family road trip where we don’t know where we’re going
* Cracker Barrel breakfast with friends
* Make a diarama with the kids
* Play with sparklers
* Buy a snowcone on Fort Myers Beach
* Make friendship bracelets with Lainey
* Make No-bake cookies
* Dress fancy tea party at Brambles
* Fly a kite
* Swim underwater in the ocean (I usually keep my head up)
* Put-put golfing
* Have a craft day
* Make sangria
* Get a good lightning picture
* Make a summer playlist
* Print photos and update frames
* Play grown-up hide-and-seek in Costco
* Host a barbecue
* Read three new books

There’s so much more to do. And making this list has me all excited.

We checked off one of the biggies today : reintroduce our now-16-month-old Marshall to our Splash Pad. I see many, many more visits in our future. :o)
And yesterday we scheduled another “summer bucket list” item : our first REAL {read : more than one night} just-our-little-family vacation. San Antonio & SeaWorld, here we come!! It was cheaper than going to the beach…but I could still use that suit! :o) Thanks.
LOVE it.
Support Coney Island’s reopening.
Support Long Beach’s reopening.
Sit on the back of new cute beau’s jetski…if I can climb on gracefully.
Spend time with 12 year old son (see first 2) whenever he agrees.

I want to see a beach this summer
Eat salt water taffy
Picnic!
LOVE this swimwear and I would LOVE to have one. I’ve been admiring them for years. A few things from the list to do with my 1 year old and 3 year old: sleep under the stars, no tent; raft some of our rivers, visit a local farm, hike a lot, swim in the hot springs, swim in the lake, many slow morning on the front porch swing, plant more fruit trees in the backyard….
Been busy studying for exams the past month (and the months prior!) and in the final stretch now…
Can’t wait till it’s over and I can move on to:
Alfresco brunching
Watching the sunset on the beach
A haircut, mani-pedi and other girly grooming
Margaritas with girlfriends
Hmm… Shop at farmers market, keep a full fruit bowl, make a pie, walk on the beach in the mornings, take a water aerobics class at the local pool, borrow books from the library, drink lots of water and juices, cut my hair shorter, beach bonfire with s’mores, get over my fear of cooking on a grill and keep preparing our home, my body and mind for our first baby… coming this December!
My summer bucket list, and actually my bucket list, period, was partly accomplished in the last week of May: My mom took me to the Bahamas, to the out-island of Eleuthera. A tropical dream come true, I tell you.
Other than that…
Many beach trips
Eating at a beach side restaurant
Lose enough weight to fit into one of those darling Popino suits. 😀
Get a tan, because I have decided the sun is good, not evil. Ha!
Enroll in school, and get a degree, finally (which is longer term than just summer.)
Thanks for making me think about it, Kelle!
We’re looking to this summer as a healing time for our family after a scary two years. Connecting with each other and taking baby steps. One of our small goals is a day-trip to Downtown Vancouver for a walk on the seawall and a sushi lunch.
oh boy…every year it seems to get bigger and bigger. go berry picking, watch outdoor movies, play lots of board games, library trips at least every other week…and the all-time dream bucket list entry? just one. single. time. have the entire house clean at once.
yeah, i don’t think it’s gonna happen either. 😉

We don’t really have a bucket list, in part because I’m trying to enjoy what we have and do without the pressure of what we can’t do. That being said, my oldest is headed to the Bahamas with family next week and we’ll later take a week of family time to soak up all the beach and togetherness we can. So I think we’ll look back and love what we did.
