Ten Things On My Summer Bucket List

It really doesn't matter how old you are for this.. Get a bunch of your friends together, load buckets filled with balloons at different spots on your lawn, split into teams and let the destruction begin!

Like Tim McGraw's Humble and Kind song lyrics go: Visit grandpa (and grandma) every chance that you can, it won't be wasted time... They'll most likely make you some delicious, home cooked food. You know they'll appreciate the visit.

If you don't have a jeep... you need to become friends with someone who does. There's nothing more fun in the summer as cruising around to nowhere in particular with the doors off and the top down in a jeep. I know spring is over, but mudding is another essential to my summertime bucket list! Two tips for this: Don't wear your favorite clothes and ladies, you gotta put your hair up if you ever want to be able to get it untangled!

Vassalboro's V-Town Paintball has outdoor courses that allow for people of all ages to have a great time, whether first-timer or pro. There is a wide range of cost from $30+ per person depending on the group size.

Stay tuned for a list of all the fairs in Maine and their dates for this summer! It's always fun to enjoy some rides and some greasy foods.

Summertime is always the season for concerts! I hope to be able to go to Luke Bryan in Bangor on the 17th of July, but if not, there's always the free concerts happening at L.L. Bean this summer!

Tumbledown, I've always heard, is a great mountain to hike that ends with a swimming spot right at the top! This summer, I definitely plan to conquer this adventure with a few friends.

DEW Haven in Mt. Vernon is a non-profit, family owned and volunteer run zoo. During summer they're open closed Mondays, but open 10am - 5pm the rest of the week with a rate of $10 to $15 depending on age.

My fiancé just found me a bike at a yard sale and I'm super excited to go for bike rides this summer! Not only is it great exercise, but allows for more fresh air and sunshine than I get with my car.

I've already completed this one! There's something beautiful about the silence during the early morning hours... This was taken on Blueberry Hill in Belgrade this past weekend.
