3 DOWN...

many more to go. But it's a start, right?

I think I once said I would write about stuff I've crossed off my bucket list... and I haven't really done that. Because I am on honest person (even though no one probably remembers I said that except myself), I am now going to play catch up.

Number Six: Ride the Wonder Wheel at Coney Island

Last summer, my family and I DROVE to New York. And Washington DC. Believe it or not, riding the Wonder Wheel at Coney Island was on my bucket list BEFORE we did this. So I was in New York, on Long Island for the first time in my life. I didn't know if I would ever be back there. We had just spent the day at Oyster Bay, and we were driving back to our hotel in New Jersey. Once I realized that Coney Island was on Long Island, there was no stopping me. Like I said, I didn't know if I would ever be back there! So I begged and bargained and pleaded with the parents and brothers to drive down to Coney Island. And it worked! And then the Wonder Wheel wasn't even running when we got there. I was so disappointed. So the family decided we would go and get authentic Nathan's hot dogs. As we were walking out of Coney Island, guess what lights up behind us? That's right, the Wonder Wheel. If I were and emotional person, I probably would have cried. I settle for a high pitched scream and a dead bolt for the farris wheel. Definitely my favorite part of New York. Here's some proof (side note: please excuse my bangs. I don't really know what I was thinking...):




Number Eight: Enter A Contest

Don't worry, this one will be short and sweet.
One time, I went to Australia (maybe I'll write more about that someday). I spent a weekend In Kuranda, and I took this cool picture of a train. And then in June, I entered it into a photo contest in the Snow Horse Art Gallery. And it didn't win, but my moms friends child really liked it!




Number Thirteen: Get my ears pierced

This one (embarrassingly enough) I added to my bucket list after it had happened. It's cool though. I went with my friend Kaleigh to the Gate Way in Salt Lake (I didn't want to see anyone I knew, that's why we didn't just go to the Layton Hills mall). It was way embarrassing. The lady working at Clair's was holding the earring display really low, and then apologized by saying, "I'm sorry, I normally do this for little girls". Yeah, embarrassing.



Bed time, loves. Good night :)
