I bet we are both doing a pretty good job of crossing things off that list. I'd love to get our kids together somewhere awesome this summer and enjoy the miracles we created.ADSchillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972164121690415796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-9339247167124806192015-07-09T16:44:23.287-07:002015-07-09T16:44:23.287-07:00Glad you are reclaiming these places, with the twi...Glad you are reclaiming these places, with the twins in tow! I haven't been to the zoo in years, since our oldest nephew was a toddler. Hmmm, the pandas are still there on loan from China... ;) P.S. I have never been to Disney and I would LOVE to go. Dh thinks I'm nuts, but then, he's already been there, pre-me. ;) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-33381364887730698852015-07-08T15:29:24.627-07:002015-07-08T15:29:24.627-07:00A long-standing aversion to 'bucket lists'...A long-standing aversion to 'bucket lists' aside (for much for the same reason I never read/viewed 50 Shades..., Harry Potter books/movies, Oprah recommendations, etc. -- the herd mentality runs counter to my 'color outside the lines' philosophy) ...

I'm trying to think of places or activities I avoided. It wasn't much, though those places or activities often made me actively sad. I don't know why I kept doing them.

I don't think I ever avoided places or events exactly, but I think infertility made me lose interest in a lot of things. For example I used to love Christmas and the past two years I've been "meh, whatever." I thought finally having a child would make me interested in things again but it hasn't, I'm going to have to work at it. torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-79288414200994605502015-07-07T11:40:35.772-07:002015-07-07T11:40:35.772-07:00I love the idea of an infertility bucket list, a r...I love the idea of an infertility bucket list, a reclaiming of "young family" places. I am dying to go berry picking, but I had avoided it at popular places because of all the pictures of my friends and their children gleefully coating themselves in blueberry or strawberry juice. I haven't been to the zoo. Maybe we should go this summer. I love this list and I'm glad that you're almost through it! Sounds like a great time.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-16858868417387177732015-07-06T21:41:25.467-07:002015-07-06T21:41:25.467-07:00I decided (quite a few years ago) to reclaim place...I decided (quite a few years ago) to reclaim places that I had been avoiding - or to reclaim events (ie Christmas), as they weren't just for kids or for parents and kids. I think there's a time when we feel strong enough to say, "I want to do this, and I don't care if there will be kids there."<br /><br />Still, my husband's first trip to our local zoo for many years was a month or two ago when we took my niece. That was fun.
