It\u2019s been a while but I wanted to update you all on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wfmX4JpMiNg&amp;feature=plcp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exciting summer<\/a>! I\u2019ve made a little summer bucket list. My friend and I have come with twenty things we really want to do this summer. Some are super simple like plant a garden and others are little more challenging like go parasailing or go to Disneyland. We might not do them all, but at least we have them to think about this summer.\u00a0 I feel like we kind of have a tendency to just sit around all summer. We know we are free so we decide \u201clet\u2019s just not do anything.\u201d Not me,\u00a0 I really wanted to do something this summer and we are getting most done!<\/p>\n<p><strong>CLAIRE ON THE HIGH SEAS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One thing on the list was learning how to sail. I started this awesome sailing summer camp with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.southbaysailing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">South Bay Sailing<\/a>\u00a0 and it\u2019s been really really fun. I\u2019m learning a ton and the sailing course lasts for two weeks. It\u2019s a lot more physical work than I ever imagined, so I have to remind myself to bring it back. I have to remind myself that my body limits are different from other people, nothing to be ashamed of, but it also doesn\u2019t hold me back from trying new things.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/albums\/?id=115351945152651\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11250 alignright\" title=\"Claire sailing this summer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Claire-sailing-this-summer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a>MAKING THE MOST OUT OF SUMMER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Other things on my summer bucket list are things I\u2019ve always wanted to do and some are new ideas. Since we just moved into a new home, I added \u201ccreating a beautiful English garden\u201d in our new front yard to my list. I also want to spend five days at Disneyland. I have always had a thing for Disneyland, I know I\u2019m a fifteen year old girl, but I\u2019m allowed to have a thing for Disneyland. Another thing I\u2019ve wanted to do is drive up the coast with my mom and sister. I can imagine us going from LA all the way up to Cambria, Big Sur, maybe the Monterrey Bay Aquarium, and then end up to San Francisco for a few days. It\u2019s kind of bunch of little things, but it will be a very fun summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set\/?set=a.142334352454410.19917.115351945152651&amp;type=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-11252\" title=\"high five for summer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/high-five-for-summer-e1344290436220-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"191\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a>SEIZE THE SUMMER: MAKE YOUR OWN SUMMER BUCKET LIST!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So the first week of doing nothing is fun, but then it gets extremely boring. It\u2019s Important to have a balance. If I were you I wouldn\u2019t sign up for things you have to do every single day, that\u2019s just going to get exhausting. Start off with the top three things you want to do and then they will all come flying out. Start with a couple things and try not to think about what\u2019s financially possible or physically possible at the time. I have things on my list like sailing that I didn\u2019t think were possible, but then all of a sudden this camp came up and there was a scholarship that made it possible. Don\u2019t think about the limitations. Write it down and wait to see what comes to you from it. There are a lot of different possibilities. Remember you don\u2019t have to do them all this summer you can split them up for next summer too, or make the list for the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GET YOUR FRIENDS INVOLVED<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Getting friends involved depends on each person. Your list can be yours alone or it can be a family list. There are a few things on my list that are just personal little things that I have wanted to do.\u00a0 Other things are more family oriented. If there things on your list that you have wanted to do for a while but have been too lazy about doing them, then get someone involved that you really listen to.\u00a0 Sometimes it takes more than just your will power to get something done.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set\/?set=a.350898588264651.83002.115351945152651&amp;type=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-11251\" title=\"Claire heads to the beach\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Claire-heads-to-the-beach-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>NEXT UP FOR CLAIRE\u2019S PLACE FOUNDATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are just getting into the world of foundations.
