The Bucket List

Ok, so this isn’t the typical do-before-we-die bucket list. Instead, we compiled a list of new or different things to try as a family. Xander is eight weeks old so he may not be able to participate in some of the activities. No numbers on the list because we have no order! We are very excited to start most of these … others, not so much :-).
