Our Family's Bucket List

I thought perhaps, since I posted my soapbox post of the week on Tuesday, I would lighten things up today and share with my non-existent following our Family's Salt Lake City Fun List that I put together this week in order to keep myself from going crazy with the January Blues and the fact that it has been so cold outside that I haven't wanted to even step out the door and walk to the mailbox with baby girl.  We haven't stepped out the door since we got home Sunday evening...I'm thinking that a trip to the library is now less of a fun thing and more of a necessity...but I digress.

As an effort to stay positive about our recent move to the dreaded Salt Lake Valley, Scott and I often like to point out the fun things that are available to do here as a couple and as a family. Several of these have been on our list since we've been married. For example, last year we decided we wanted to go to Hogle Zoo as a family--for some reason, even though we are the furthest thing from animal lovers, Scott and I really enjoy visiting zoos--but after our premie baby, crazy summer, and roller coaster fall, we never made it. Naturally it is number one on the list now.

Drumroll, please....
