Summer bucket list part 1

It's that time of year again when my sister and I make our usually too ambitious bucket list for the summer. I love that I have a friend who enjoys planning events and outings as much as I do. This is going to be a rockin summer even if we do 10% of what we want to! Here are the first few things off our list...

1. bowling (I already talked about our bowling adventure back here in our California post)

2. Take a ferry ride. We ventured with a few friends and their kiddos over to Kingston for a couple of hours for a picnic lunch and delicious crepes. Colter still talks about the loud engine on the ferry boat and talks about going on another ferry ride almost daily, so i'd call it a success.

3. Check out the new exhibit at the zoo. It's been a few months since we ventured to the zoo so it was fun to see what has changed. We missed the sloth bear cubs, but were able to see the 7 mo. old lion cubs. so sweet! We also got to see the new otter exhibit and the play area at the bamboo forest reserve. Colter's favorite animal was the giraffes.

4. Try out cheesemonger. My friend Stephanie had her birthday party at cheesemonger. It did not disappoint. Cheesy goodness! Unfortunately we did not take any pictures. Perhaps it was because we were all busy consuming way too much cheese.

5. A ride on the water taxi/shaved ice at Marination Mai Kai. We did this for Ben's father's day celebration. What a wonderful experience!! Such a perfect thing to do with visitors in town, or just something out of the ordinary!
