Summer Bucket List & Recap

I had a bucket list for my summer and then had all kinds of adventures on top of those! It was a really good summer; one of the rainiest I can recall. Let's recap the summer of 2021!

Bucket List

• Strawberry picking. This did not happen because I got going late and by the time I was looking into it, the season was over. So this will be one I try again next yer.
• Picnic. I had two picnics this summer! There is something about eating a picnic that really appeals to me. The blanket and the basket and the whole thing.
• Frankenmuth with friends. We had so much fun (read more about our adventure here) and didn't have enough time so we want to go back this month! I also went to Frankenmuth with my family when our cousins came to visit.
  
• Menchie's. Barely got this in before summer ended but I did go! I enjoy the novelty of frozen yogurt but it is an expensive treat so I only get it about once a year.
  
• Drive-in movie. This did not happen either. I thought that they would play movies that were already released, maybe some old classics or just well-known movies but that is not the case (at least not for the one by me). They were playing the same movies that were coming out in theaters and while there were one or two that might have been options, it just didn't work out for a variety of reasons.
  

We did not take any trips this summer but our family came to visit us, my friend from Nashville was home for a bit two different times and we spent time together, we had a family gathering, and I spent a ton of time with different friends!

I was outside much more than I have been in years and actually got a tan! Some of that is mowing, some is bike riding, and some is laying in the hammock. It's weird not swimming anymore. We used to do a lot of swimming as kids but not anymore. I guess that's part of growing up?

I did some sessions over the summer and got to explore some new locations that I am just in love with!!! I'm looking forward to my fall and Christmas mini sessions this month and next! (Want more info? Click here).
