Hello, my bucket list friends! I still have a lot of blog posts to write about last year’s adventures. I finally finished writing my posts about July 2025 so now is time for August 2025. I will be writing about this years adventures in between my catch up posts. With all the being said let’s get to it!
August 1st – On the first day of the month I had to leave work early. I had a root canal the day before . I thought I would be able to make it though my shift but that did not end up happening. I was not feeling well so my friend came and got me. We went to whole foods and CVS to get some things I needed to help me feel better. While at CVS I got some fun items including a craft kit, a spinning toy, chalk with a surprise in it and pens. That night I used to craft kit I bought to create a super cute cup covered in stickers. It was not how I planned on the day going but I was reminded how blessed I am to have have a truly wonderful friend.
August 2nd – On this day I got to go to my favorite local party supplies store. I got some fun items including stickers ,erasers and a key chain set. I also went to the park and I got coffee it was a great summer day.
Thank you for reading about my early August adventures!
Hello, my bucket list friends. I’ve enjoyed remembering my July road trip as I write each blog post about it However, I’m very excited to write this blog post because I will get to write about going to the zoo. I love getting to explore different zoos and On this road trip I got to go the Sequoia Park Zoo. It was a truly wonderful zoo and I can’t wait to tell you more about it so let’s get to it!
July 16, 2025
The sequoia park zoo was our first adventure on this day. This zoo was in a really great location right next to a very cute park. When we entered the zoo, the first animal we saw were flamingos. I love flamingos. They are so fun to watch and they are truly beautiful animals. I also got to see an owl , a bear , other birds, some barnyard animals and more. My favorite thing here was the red wood skywalk. The skywalk is a walkway that includes bridges. This is a great place to take pictures and get a good view of the beautiful redwoods. There was also a gift shop here where I got a plush flamingo and some other fun zoo souvenirs as well. After the zoo I went to the park where I got to go down a slide. And I took a picture With a banana slug statue. After our zoo adventure, we went to the Dick Taylor chocolate factory. I really enjoyed going to this chocolate factory. There was a great selection of lots of yummy treats you could buy. I bought some treats of course and some souvenirs. But my favorite thing here was the peppermint tea Latte. It was one of the most amazing drinks. I have ever had in my life. Obviously I highly recommend visiting this chocolate factory. After our visit to the chocolate factory, we went on two more beautiful hikes . One hike that we went on gave us beautiful views of the ocean. On the other hike that we went on was the lady bird Johnson grove trail. There were many beautiful trees on this trail and I remember it being pretty easy overall. I highly recommend this trail for it’s beautiful scenery. this day was a wonderful summer day filled with adventure.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! In my previous post, I forgot to mention an art project that I did on July 7th. I probably missed the pictures when I was looking back because I decided to do this art project shortly after midnight. With all that being said, I’m excited to tell you more about this art project, so let’s get to it!
Monster truck art kit – I love art kits. I got this one from Target. Target is a great place to get inexpensive art kits. This one was a simple painting art kit. That came with a wooden monster truck, two paint brushes, and a few small containers of paint. I chose to paint my monster truck orange and blue because those are the Mets colors. However, I also used green. I added dots to my monster truck. I really enjoyed doing this project.
Hello, my bucket list friends, I’m excited to continue telling you about my summer adventures. I had some fun adventures in early July that I’m excited to share with you, including going to the same local zoo that I went to as a kid. With all that being said, let’s get to it!
July 1st – The first day of this month was a normal work day. I got coffee, and I went to work. However, I did get some Claire’s items at work, including lip gloss and a pair of cupcake earrings. I miss having that Claire’s display at my work. It was so fun seeing the new items that would come out every season.
July 2nd – This way the day that I went to my local zoo. I’ve been going here since I was a kid, but It had been a while since my last visit. It was not an inexpensive trip, so I probably will not go back anytime soon. However, I did have a good time. I loved seeing the capybaras the most. They were so much fun to watch. I also enjoyed the barnyard area. While I was at the zoo, I got to do one of my favorite things. I got to go on a carousel. There was also a gift shop and I got a magnet there. It was a fun day at the zoo. After the zoo we go lunch and after that I got to see my cousin. It was a wonderful summer day.
July 3rd. – On this day I got iced coffee and I went to work but I did wear my Mets shirt. I love being a Mets fan!
July 4th – the 4th of July is one of my my favorite holidays. On this 4th of July, my parents and I went out to eat, and then we went to a minor league baseball game that had fireworks after. The fireworks show there is always amazing every time I’ve seen it year’s was no different. I also got a big soft pretzel. I had a great time celebrating the fourth this year.
July 5th. I did not really do anything on this day, but I did wear my Mets shirt again! Let’s go, Mets!
