My husband and I were inspired by another meme to make up own of our own.
We sat under a blanket one cold morning over the winter break and compiled a list of:
99 Outdoor Sorts of Things to Do.
It was fun to randomly list 99 things we have done or would like to do. We decided to narrow the list to things to do in the United States so feel free to use our list or come up with one of your own! We have not done or experienced all the things on the list *yet* but it is fun to think about how we could check some of the items off the list in the future. If you take the list and post it on your blog, please leave me a comment so I can come and see which things you have completed. We marked our completed items with a star.
