We didn’t get a chance to do too much so far. It has been a busy couple of months. I am hoping to try lots of new things in the next few months, though!
So many fun things on this list! We haven’t got to do a lot yet, but have been to Burritt and loved it!
I have done #2 and hope to get to do #19!
We have only taken a hike so far, but we want to do so much more! We want to go see Wizard of Oz, go to Panoply, go see the HSO take on E.T. and we can’t wait to go to Lowe Mill for the concerts on the Docks and enjoy Good Kids Day.

We haven’t been able to do any of them yet (so sad) but will definitely be going to the Botanical Garden and checking out the LEGO!
Well so far… We’ve been to Burritt to see the barnyard animals. I’m hoping to get out more now that it’s getting nicer!
So far, only saw Legos at the Botanical Gardens and went to the Cinderella ballet, but looking forward to doing plenty more!
