bucket list #9

Last one for today!!!

No. 9 bike ride

 My little B's LOVED! The bike trailer!!!

I was excited lil' B was big enough to ride in it! 

My big man was more than happy to ride his big boy bike. Maybe it was a right of passage to grow out of riding in the trailer. 

We are working on street safety and he is doing a really good job! 

This particular bike ride we rode up to the city park, had a little snack and let the kids play. 

Have I mentioned I love summer in SE Idaho!?! 

Well, it is AMAZING!!

bucket list #25

No. 25 on our bucket list...

**Fireworks!!!**

Ok, so this is technically at the Parade that morning.

But, we were having too much fun playing dominoes, eating, running around, playing by the river...to take any pic's that evening. 

Besides, all my children have clean faces, the girls are still wearing their bows and we even got a smile out of lil' B!!!

We had such an awesome 4th of July! 

{we missed my Dad, he was sick and couldn't come play} 

Living in Idaho Falls we are quite spoiled by Melaleuca {find out about them here} who puts on the Freedom Celebration every year. 

I bet you didn't know they have the largest fireworks display this side of the Mississippi!?!

I will let you in on a little secret...

I didn't know that either until I moved here! 

it is a pretty awesome way to celebrate the birth of our Country! 

My favorite part is the Patriotic music they play on one of the radio stations that is synced to the fireworks. 

bucket list #3

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo

How about you, you, you? 

You can come too, too, too! 

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo!

No. 3 on our summer bucket list

 Our annual zoo pass expired at the end of June so we made quite a few trips.

One of the things I like about our small zoo is we can see all the exhibits in a few hours, more like an hour and a half. :)

But, with my small kiddos it is just the right amount of time!

This is a pic of the first one I came up with. I thought it looked too cluttered so I re did it. 

I had a poster sized frame that wasn't being used. 

So, I took some scrapbook paper and attached it to the cardboard the frame had. This ensured I had it the right size. 

Next I went to word pad and typed up each activity and printed it out. 

Cut them down to size and pasted them to the scrapbook paper with a glue stick. 

Put the cardboard back in the frame and hung it on the wall. 

Now as we do each activity I take a few pics and we cross it off the board. 

I will post about each of the activities as they happen. 

Which we already have a handful we have done. So, I have some catch up to do.
