Today was a day of crossing off things on our bucket list!!  For those who don't know, Jill, Kelley, and I started a summer bucket list a LONG time ago and so far we only had one thing crossed off which was going to Yumz and we did that the day the bucket list was created.  We decided to get a move on with it so we made a day centered around doing things we wanted to.  First on the list was the Farmer's Market.  Jill came and picked me and Kelley up at 10 and then we headed on our way.  We walked around the little market for a while and saw all the fresh produce.  Here is an awkward picture of me with sunflowers:

After we walked around the Farmer's Market, we decided to walk around town for a little bit because it was a nice day outside.  Then we headed off to item number two which was to go to a different town and get popcorn balls!  In a town close to where we live there is a tiny tiny shack that sells pretty much items you would find at a baseball park but their famous for their popcorn balls!  So we ordered our balls and sat on a bench in the park behind the shack.  The resulting picture is the POD!!  We are so great!!!  After that, we headed over to the community college because Dad texted Kelley earlier and told her there were free teacher books there so Jill and Kelley wanted to take a peak.  Kelley ended up getting a few books!  After that, we had to head home because I had to head to class at that same college but I did not have any of the stuff with me.  By the time we got home, I had to quickly leave because time was running out!!  I ended up walking into class right at 1 and I had to speed like crazy on the way there!  But I avoided tickets!  Yay!  Class ended early because all we did was listen to two people give speeches and then we took surveys.  We got out at 2:30 and I was home by 3!  Jill was still over when I got home and she and Kelley were standing in our kitchen ready to leave when I walked through the door.  They said they were just about to go to town but were afraid I would come home early so their guesses were right!!  We headed to town and went to Party City because Jill lied about them having smarty suckers hahaha :)  They did have 15 pieces of candy for a $1 so we all picked out our candy of choice.  Here is Jill with a tiny tiny basket :) :

After that, we went to Hobby Lobby and Jill got stuff to make classroom things and Kelley and I got cool posters that we're both excited about!!  Yay!!  Then we went home.  Jill made her classroom thing from Hobby Lobby and then we had dinner.  We were lounging around when we decided to bike ride to a small conservation park trail thing close by.  This was item number three on our bucket list that we completed!!  When we got there, the sign said bikes were not allowed but we didn't bring locks so we rolled them with us down the trails.  There was a cool water fountain with a pump which we spent way too long at having fun pumping water and taking pictures:

Then we took this picture to prove we did this item on our bucket list:

After that, the sun was about to set so we headed on home.  When we got home, we watched The Ron Clark Story and spent the rest of the night watching the behind the scenes stuff before Kelley headed off to bed and Jill went home!  What a successful day!
