I’ll add in the Summer Bucket List button as soon as I remember who is hosting this, help!
And now I’ve added it in.
Julie of Just Playin’ Around also has a book blog called My Book Retreat and I routinely read her posts (if rarely comment) and think I’d love to read more, okay I read a fair amount.
Here’s my definite books:
1. Proven Guilty, Jim Butcher- I’m halfway through, should be done in a day or so
2. White Knight, Jim Butcher- I’ll finish powering through Dresden Files soon, I’m sure.
3. Small Favors, Jim Butcher- last one we own currently, I’m sure if I find any of the other ones I’ll pick it up
4. Chronicles of Narnia- this is also going to be part of another challenge that is a fun idea of reading/watching whatever you can/want to from that series.
5. Creative Correction, Lisa Welchel- parenting book, in theory I’ll be putting up my thoughts on chapter 1 this week, I”m reading it with a friend and comparing notes.
6. I’m sure I’ll read something else during this time. We’ll see what I find on our trip.

TO DO BEFORE OUR TRIP AS FAR AS PACKING
While I’m making lists might as well make this one:
3. Get Batman’s seatbelt replaced (waiting on parts)

5. Pack suitcases; find a good travel soap for washing clothes.
6. Organize snack types of things and drinks.
7. Hmmmm, lots more stuff, but I need to go be a superhero with Princess. I’ve got my power ring, and now to fight bad guys.
Thanks for joining the reading challenge! The bucket list is hosted by Little Wonder Days (https://littlewondersdays.blogspot.com/). I know because I wrote it down, but I still haven't written up a list of my own yet. Maybe I'll get to that this week! I'm very jealous of your upcoming vacation!!
I need to do this…
Ooo, I want to hear more about making ice sculptures! The Grand Canyon is amaaaaazing. Is this all on one road trip? Sounds super fun.
Never thought of a summer bucket list! *Pondering*
Interesting lists. I'm glad you mentioned Narnia, I've been waiting for that challenge – but I was hoping this year it would be all of C.S. Lewis' works. Your bucket list made me tired though, I think I'm going to go take a nap now 🙂
I read the first few Dresden files, and it looks like it gets more interesting with time. I just can't seem to make myself get interested in them again. I have to come up with my own summer bucket list before summer is over. And I am still pouting that you are not coming to SJ while driving all the way here.
You've got a great list going. We've got some of the same activites. Hope you and yours has an amazing summer!
What a great summer bucket list! We want to see Toy Story 3 and go to the drive in theater. Fortunately for us, this weekend it's playing at the drive-in, so that knocks TWO items off of our list at one time!
I am going to have to check out Julie's blog.
I really like the idea of a summer bucket list. I may just have to make up a winter one given that I am here in the southern hemisphere. My cherubs would love to help me make the list. It would be great fun to have some interesting outings and projects to look forward to.
Nice list. I have my list done but I have to post it. I love lists!
Great list! Sounds like you have a fabulous (and busy!) summer ahead =)
Your list is fantastic! Thanks for posting. I love that you put ideas for yourself too.
