So... it officially isn't Summer until I think June 20th... but we are getting a head start. If I had to guess, I think our baby will be born sometime in the last third of July, so I am trying to cram in all our Summer fun a little early.
Gabe is officially done with school on May 23rd, which I think is super early. I think in Wisconsin we usually got done around June 6th, but they go back to school here on like, August 23 or 24th here too. So, the boys and I have been talking about all the things they wanted to do this Summer and we decided to make a list, inspired by this movie they saw about a girl that has a "Not-Bummer Summer" list where her and her friends compete for "Thrill Points" to have the best Summer ever. If we accomplish all the things on our list, we will have ended this Summer with 1000 Thrill points... and one exhausted mom I am sure. Here is the list:
As you can see, the first item is "Bear World." This is a place that's about 5 miles south of Rexburg and we have never even been there! It has real bears - black and grizzly - and lots of deer, elk, wolves, and more. Those bigger animals are in this drive around area where you go really slowly in your cars with the windows up and hope they don't attack you. Luckily they didn't climb on our car, but I have heard stories that they have before! Then they also had a little petting zoo with goats and deer and stuff. They even had the hugest pig I have ever seen in my life. Then they had some little rides for the kids. Gabe has been wanting to go there forever, so we put it on our list and went yesterday when it was half price admission for locals because the season official opens next weekend. It was the type of place that was fun to go once but I don't know that I'd ever need to go again. So, that was Bear World! Thrill point total for the Summer so far: 20. :)
