Greetings!

It's that time of year when we make our Bucket List of things "to ENJOY" this summer!       

 

Our bucket list so far:  Grilling out and chalk drawings in the driveway, catching fireflies, Springfield Sliders ball games, sleep overs, Skateland South, Knights Action Park Water Park day and mini-golf, Summer Reading Programs, Old State Capitol Farmer's Market (Wed or Sat mornings downtown),  Illinois Products Market (every Thursday night at fairgrounds), Swimming and Tennis lessons, The Muni, catching up on photo albums and scrapbooks (cross your fingers!), going to the top of the Arch in St. Louis, Taste of Downtown Springfield and Blues and BBQ.

 

What's on the top of your family's list?  Have fun!
