101 Fun Summer Activities

Inspired by some facebook friends and boards on pinterest, we decided to make our own "summer bucket list".  I'm not sure we'll get to do all of them but we can try.  And have fun doing it.  Sometimes, I get tired of trying to think of fun things to do and this way we have a list to go from.  And, oooooohhhhhh, I LOVE lists!  So here is my 101 things to do this summer.  Some will be easier than others and some are on there cause I already know some of the plans for the summer.  Summer fun....Here we Come!!!
