So how’d I do? After my check in post last month, (if you didn’t see that check it out here) there were just a few things left on my list. *Hike Suicide Rock *Try Thai Basil *Eat an ice cream cone *Visit a farmers market *Go star gazing *See a movie in the park *Day at the beach Well I really tried my best to complete my summer bucket list, but with the wedding fast approaching and me getting a second job, not all went according to plan. I did not see a movie in the park :/ The park’s movie schedule did not work with my schedule. But I think this will make my bucket list again next year. Fingers crossed I also was unable to spend a day at the beach. This item may have been wishful thinking. Here in Utah there are NO beaches. I was hoping to spend a day at Daybreak’s lake with its sandy beach, but once again time seemed to get away from me. I didn’t get time to hike Suicide rock either. By the time I got home each night from work it was far too late to make it out and have enough light to safely hike the rock. I did get to complete quite a few more items though! *Tyler and I got ice cream cones from McDonalds. ( I mean we are on a budget) I love the soft serve ice cream from there. It’s the perfect summer treat. *We also tried Thai Basil. We stayed and dined in and the restaurant was really cute with fun decorations. However the food was not as impressive as I thought it was going to be. While it was good quality and did taste delicious, it didn’t compare to our other favorites. We tried the Pad Thai and the Sweet and Sour Calamari. I loved the calamari, but Tyler thought it was a little spicy. Overall decent food, but not up to the hype in my opinion. *I had the chance to go wander and take photos of my local farmer's market. This market is just a 5 minute walk from my apartment. So I took a little stroll. It was lots of fun to go around the market and know that what I’m buying is grown just behind the little shop. Here’s some cute photos from my trip :) *I love looking at the stars. It’s seriously so peaceful, and the night sky is one of my favorite views. I try to stargaze from my balcony as often as possible, but it’s even better when I can get a little out of the city. Tyler has a spot up in a developing subdivision in Herriman that has a great spot for stargazing. We did make it there this summer.
*Kylie 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 This is my seasonal bucket list that will be posted on the equinoxes aka the first day of each season. Summer is posted a little late this season but you'll have to forgive me as Wonderfully Normal was not an idea as of yesterday.
So without further ado, here's my bucket list for summer of 2017 ~ 5k Bubble Run ~ Hike Suiccide Rock ~ Eat at Thai Basil ~ Watch Fireworks ~ Eat an Ice Cream Cone ~ Hike Mount Timpaganos ~ Visit a Farmers Market ~ Go Stargazing ~ Go to the Drive In Movies ~ Attend Taylorsville Dayzz ~ See a Movie in the Park ~ Spend a Day at the Beach Short and Sweet ❤️ I'll be posting my progress. ✌🏻 Comment your favorite bucket list item or suggest new ones to try! I'd love to hear from everyone. |
