Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m so excited to write this post! Once this post is published I will have achieved my goal of finishing last year’s summer posts before this summer begins. Before I jump into how I did with my summer bucket list. I want to reflect on the summer of 2025. Overall this summer was pretty amazing. One of my favorite memories was making chalk art in the park with my friend. Another thing I loved was going on vacation to Las Vegas I did so many fun things there including going to the Rainforest cafe. There was also a road trip to Northern California , my mall weekend tradition, going to two Mets games, celebrating July 4th , going to Idaho, seeing the Dallas Cowboys practice at training camp, celebrating my birthday and , so much more! I’m blessed that I got to have so many fun adventures during the summer of 2025. I could go on about all of the fun I had during this summer. I went swimming , went shopping at some of my favorite places , went to the zoo, crossed off some bucket list items , and spent time with some of my favorite people. I love summer and I’m so thankful for the fun that I had in summer 2025.
