Instead of a summer bucket list, we are just taking the weeks as they come. But we ended up having many adventures this month.

Visited the Omaha Zoo complete with splash pad fun

Strawberry picking - we missed it last year

Used our quarterly pass to Bounce U

Took a walk at Fontenelle Forest

Took swimming lessons - The boys passed Level 1!

Pool time with friends! (We also had a mini pool party with a friend at her house.)

Despite their expressions, we loved going to see Inside Out 2

A very hot walk at the OPPD Arboretum

We stopped at the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines

We also popped into Reiman Gardens. Such a beautiful place even if it was super hot.

Visited an indie bookstore (The Nook), yummy pizza (Urban Pie), and ice cream (The Vibe) in Cedar Falls

We spent an entire day at the Lost Island Waterpark

We also spent a day at the Lost Island Adventure Park

We had ice cream with friends (not pictured) at Graley’s to kick off our ice cream tour
