So you pick: #11 or #65 for our 40th....You were suggesting something BIG and totally different....

Heather said...

One more thing: One about Dagg and Niskikowsi - doesn't that count for #97.

I thought this was a fun list. I made a bucket list several years ago, and its amazing to look at it every once in awhile to see dreams coming into reality.

Ha! Very funny...I wasn't thinking of ending my life at 40 when I said big and different. Yeah, I guess the New Year's incident might count for 97.

#42 -- If I remember correctly, we couldn't get too near Old Faithful because there were forest fires in the park.
