Bucket listing

Along with my travels around Shreveport I have been trying to mark things off my bucket list and so far things are going well.  I took a trip to a Agora Borealis which was on my list of places to visit around here.  I was expecting a market type atmosphere but it ended up just being a shop with expensive crafted items.  There was some pretty cool art and it's always great to find locally made items but it wasn't what I was hoping for at all.  Then we went to Duck Pond park which was really nice.  There were plenty of ducks waddling around and the park itself had 5 different sets with different themes that my little really enjoyed playing on.

We also went to a birthday party this weekend and in true Kate fashion I was the first and most excited member of the ball pit.  It was good getting out and talking to some other grown ups and meeting new people and we all had a pretty good time.

My bucket list item this week was to shoot a gun.  I have never even held a gun before so my cousin showed me some general gun safety and how to load the gun first and then we headed down to a range to fire the pistol and the shotgun.  I was really nervous because I have never been a huge gun enthusiast in any way.  It was neat trying something new and I don't regret giving it a go but honestly I won't be doing it again.  The shotgun was terrible.  I only shot a couple but it was too loud and not fun for me at all.  The pistol was okay and the more I shot the better I felt about it, but it wouldn't go down as a "fun" experience.  It's too much power for me I think.  Just not my cup of tea but it was an experience.

I also want to give a shout out to the Relaxation Center at Pierre Mall.  They did an amazing job this week of getting me loosened up in just thirty minutes.  It was remarkable and I was able to pick up this Reflexology chart for just 5 bucks.  My "me" day consisted of a massage, a trip to the tanning salon and a bouquet of flowers.  I love treating myself.
