It’s hot, the twins are here, and we’re right in the middle of our summer! Let’s get to our summer bucket list:
- Read 50 books - 14 books read so far
- Have an appetizer night ✓ - Instead of grilling out for the Fourth of July, we did an appetizer night! Crab rangoon, shrimp cocktail, pumpernickel pretzel pouches, jalapeno poppers, garlic zucchini, watermelon, blueberry lemon upside down cake, Reese’s PB cup cheesecake bites, and hushpuppies.
- Tie Dye Shirts
- Weekend trip to the Cosmosphere
- Try 3 ice cream places 2/3
- Coneflower - Oh so yum! I got Rhubarb Crisp, Arthur and Quentin got Dark Chocolate, Alex got Mint Choc Chip, and J got Coffee, Mint Choc Chip, and White Choc and Basil. I think the winner was Coffee.
- Ted and Wally’s - A favorite in Old Market! I got Almond Joy, Arthur and Alex got vanilla, Quentin got chocolate, and J got Guiness and Fudge Brownie German Chocolate.
- Go on 5 picnics
- Visit an outdoor cinema
- Make s’mores
