Summer is finally here and I want to do so many things. And I’m sure many of you have a long list as well. There’s still a bit of snow on the peaks in the Rocky Mountains here in Colorado but it’s beginning to get warmer and there’s plenty of activities to be done this summer.
I have only a few things scheduled and a lot of things that I hope to do in between. I’m a very classic (or you could say stereotypical) Colorado gal and I am hoping to spend most of my summer outside. Of course I work, boo adulting, so everything has to be either on the weekends or after work.
I’m kicking off my summer tomorrow with a trip to Oregon where I get to see my best friend, explore Portland and attend the UO graduation as an alumna. And here are the rest of my Summer To-Dos:
- kayaking on Lake Granby, Shadow Mountain and Grand Lake
- camping (of course)
- Kacey Musgraves concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater
- reading – gotta keep up on that Reading Challenge
- backpacking trip – hopefully with the boyfriend
- game night
- yoga – inside and outside
- hiking – I have a few specific hikes I’d like to complete this summer and I will certainly share them
- outdoor movie night
- visit the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
- open an Etsy store (stay tuned for this)
- get in shape – workout more
- plan a vacation for the fall or next spring
- bike riding – there’s an awesome path that I can access from my work parking lot
- spend time with my mom, best friends and boyfriend
- farmer’s market
- s’mores
- wine festival

- craft fair
- work on my novel
- putt-putt golf (also maybe some real golf?)
- shopping (this is really year-round)

- go to the movies – there’s a lot of movies coming out this summer that I am very excited about
- campfires in the backyard
