Summer 2014 Bucket List

Pretty sure a lot of these adventures will be by bike

I've been thinking of what I'd like to get around to doing this summer with the kids a lot lately. Thought I'd make a list so we can remember it all. A few days after the official start of summer, but better late than never, right?

1. Swimming at an outdoor pool--New Brighton, Kits, or Third Beach
2. Picnic at the beach
3. Hiking at least once--maybe Quarry Rock
4. Camping--probably tent camping by car, though I'm sure the Yuba could handle all our gear...
5. Gelato
6. Biking around Stanley Park
7. Taking a ferry--maybe Victoria, maybe the Gulf Islands, maybe both?
8. Get Slurpees--I know they're just sugar water slightly frozen, but they're just so summery!
9. Having friends over for a barbeque--since we got our deck all redone last summer we need to break it in properly!
10. Farmers Market shopping--no excuse not to, with two markets within a ten-minute ride of home: Trout Lake market Saturdays & Mount Pleasant market Sundays.
11. Go to the PNE--we've gone every single year since Linnaeus was born: this will be his FIFTH time!
12. See at least one outdoor movie--I love the Fresh Air Cinema events! 

There you have it. My to do list for July  & August. I should probably add that we'll be doing most of the above by bike--I plan to make as much use of our new Yuba Mundo as possible this summer!
