Summer is here and in a big way! We have finally made it to consistent high 80’s and 90’s, which after a recent trip to Phoenix I am actually feeling grateful for. I am definitely a person who enjoys avoiding the heat, but I do have a love for a lot of summer activities. So, I decided to write another checklist. I had a lot of fun writing my spring checklist. It was really great considering ways to celebrate the season.
Here is my list to help you squeeze the most out of your summer!
- Go on lots of walks with my pup, Willow (Especially now that she isn’t a fool on her leash all the time thanks to Scotch Pines Dog Training!!)
- Eat all the ice cream
- See the fireworks show at Snake River Landing
- Go listen to the live music happening outdoors all summer ( My favorite is the Live United concert series)
- Shave ice ( I really dig the Tiki Hut off of 25th)
- Try something new ( I’m taking Hip Hop and Latin classes with Kenia at Motion Dance Academy 🙂 )
- Ride my bike everrrrrywhere
- Go on a hike (Last year we went up around the Palisades area)
- Go camping
- Make some of my go to summer recipes
Knock Ya Naked Margaritas That’s what my mom calls them! 😂 We sub the water for 7-up and it gives it a lil somethin extra.
- Try this boozie popsicle recipe
- Cook something over a fire This is such a cool idea!
- Watch a movie outside
- Drink on a patio ( Tap N Fill after a bike ride or Sandpiper where I can people watch near the river are my faves)
- Eat some delicious BBQ
- Stroll at the farmer’s market
- Get my tickets to see The Offspring at the Eastern Idaho State Fair
- Go on a roadtrip
- Go to a festival ( We are going to Reggae Rise Up in Heber City, UT in August!)
- Keep my lawn alive! Luckily, I have found The Yard Butler to help me out this summer.
- Date nights downtown. Downtown is perfect for date nights! My husband and I like to ride our bikes down grab dinner at any of the wonderful restaurants, go to a movie at Centre Twin theater, and then grab a drink or ice cream at Pop’s!
- Move my bod outside (Have you checked out Ashley Curry’s Zumba on the pier? You should!!)
- Reread Wild. It’s the perfect summer-time read full of adventure and self-discovery.
I hope you all have an incredible summer and make tons of memories!
