So far completing my bucket list has been such a lot of fun! Drive in movies -Check! 5k Bubble Run- Check! Taylorsville Dayzz-Check! Watch fireworks-Check! - Drive In Movies Tyler and I got to go out on a date to the zoo and then the drive in movies. I was so excited to go to the movies. Tyler and I had been before but it was years ago. We planned to see a double feature: Cars 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell no Tales. The theater we went to was on Redwood Road and ?. We got there kinda close to the start time of Cars 3 because we had stopped at a fabulous little soda shop on the way (Sodalicious). So getting there later than we planned gave us a poor parking spot. We couldn't see the screen by sitting in the trunk of our borrowed SUV. Instead we climbed ontop of Tyler's mom's Suburban. It was still a fun experience, just not as cozy and comfortable as I had been expecting. So we didn't really get to cuddle. :/ However it was a fun experience :) Due to our poor vantage point, Tyler and I actually left after Cars and didn't stay for Pirates (which sucks cuz I still haven't seen it). Cars was a super cute movie and I really enjoyed the unexpected ending. I feel like it was a good wrap up to the series. - 5k Bubble Run Colored bubbles and running? How much more fun could you get?? This is the second bubble run I've done and hope to make it a yearly summer tradition. For those of who you don't know how cool the bubble run is; it's a traveling 5k that gives runners what they call a "good clean run". The bubbles are set at intervals throughout the 5k and each station has a color. (which is super cool cuz the colors will stain your white bubble run shirt) The bubbles are more like foam and each station fills up with the colored suds. At one point the bubbles were chest height! Running through them is so much fun! If you haven't tried this event you should totally sign up! -Taylorsville Dayzz This bucket list item is another fun tradition! Ever since I was about 14 (so 6 years ago) my family and some friends would grab a KFC bucket, take a blanket, and head to the fair at Taylorsville Dayzz. My sisters and I would have lots of fun riding the rides at the fair and playing games. The night would end with the coolest firework display. It's such a good memory that I try to make it every year. This year made it pretty tricky for us to make it there. Now that Tyler and I both work two jobs (weddings don't pay for themselves!) we're super busy. However we made it work and got to experience Taylorsville Dayzz 2017. To be honest this Bucket List item was a total fail. Tyler and I went with some friends to this fair and because of all our crazy schedules we didn't get there till 9 pm. Parking was terrible! We had to park super far away and ended up walking about 15 min to get there. Once we got to the park we simply took one lap around all the activities/booths, watched only the first half of the firework show, and then left in order to beat the mad rush to leave. Overall the fair was super crowded and the lines looked to be at least a 45 minute wait for anything there. Although it was crowded, I still think the firework show is one of the best. The fireworks are fun and colorful. The show even lasted about half an hour! -Watch Fireworks
While this may seem like a silly bucket List item to most, fireworks is one of my favorite things about July. I love looking out over the valley and see a whole bunch of colors lighting up the sky. This year we kept our 4th of July fireworks simple. We got the cheesy fountains and sparklers from the local firework tent. It was nice and simple and reminded me that life doesn't always need to be over the top. Life is best wonderfully normal. ~Kylie On July 3rd I got to throw a 4th of July party for some of our closest friends. Ever since I moved out I've wanted to throw a party. One of those Pinterest parties. You know where everything is planned out so careful and perfect. Well I threw myself into making this party as close to Pinterest worthy as I could. About a week of planning went into this party and I loved every minuet of it. : I started with the decorations. You guys already heard about my cute door wreath :) (if not click here) All my guests commented on how cute it was. It was seriously so easy too. Comment below with an email and I'll send you the instructions :) My decor inside was also super cute :) I got the cute red white and blue candles and bowls from Target. I mean who doesn't love Target? I also got the cute USA tray and wood letters from Target. Ps the candles smell AMAZING! (I might have a huge candle obsession) I also made a last minuet craft out of mason jars. I spent just one night painting the jars to look like a flag. I loved the way they turned out and they were the perfect size to hold the straws and utinsels. Now onto the food!! Most of the food I had never made before so it was definitely learning process for me. First I made jello filled strawberries. This treat was a party favorite yet turned out sloppy and were hard to make. The recipe I followed said to cut off the tops of the strawberries and scoop out the middles. Then to cut off enough of the bottom to make them stand flat. You then pour the jello into the strawberries and let them solidify. Well the cutting part of this had some errors and I got some holes in my strawberries and that's no good since it didn't hold the jello. My next oops was when I filled them with the jello. I think I should have let the liquid jello cool a little more before pouring it into my strawberries. Because I poured the super hot jello in too soon it kinda made my strawberries go mushy. Now that I've made them once, my next batch will be much better and that's really good because this food was the biggest party hit. The rest of the food was pretty simple. I made a cute American flag fruit tray Filled my star bowls with white fruit dip, red salsa, and blue m&ms. I had a bunch of fun with the drinks :) I love large drink depensers and couldn't wait to use my large mason jar style one. I filled it up blueberries, strawberries, and pineapple cut in the shape of stars. This drink was certainly a party hit! Going with the theme of mason jars, I planned to make red white and blue layered drinks. I saw them on Pinterest and thought they were super cute! Well they turned out to be a major fail. The diffferent colored drinks were supposed to stay separated because of their various levels of sugar content. Well that totally didn't work. The colors stayed separated for approximately two seconds and then mixed together to form a purpley color. (Although it did taste good) Still wanting to have red white and blue drinks I organized the jars into rows and filled each up with just one of the colored drinks. I had such a wonderful time planning this party. While lots didn't go as planned we still had lots of fun and everything turned out super cute. :)
Happy 4th of July everyone! I saw this adorable wreath on Pinterest and just knew I had to try it!
I started off with an 18 inch wire wreath and 120 clothes pins. I used Apple Barrel paint in the colors Flag Red, Too Blue, and White. All these supplies were found at Walmart. I got the bag of multi sized stars at Hobby Lobby. Painting the clothes pins turns out to be quite the challenge. I had to hold the pins open with another pin to get the inside painted as pictured below. All colors only took one coat of paint. After several nights of painting I then put it all together. I got rewarded with this super cute wreath that I love to come home to see on my door. I will email full instructions to those who comment below. :) Happy July everyone!! |
