Our Summer To Do List...

Summer actually starts on June 21st this year but we all know Memorial Day is the first official (non-official) day of summer.  R found a pin listing fun ideas for summer activities, the list was geared more towards families with young kids but it initiated a conversation where we made our own summer goals.  Anytime I post on the blog it keeps me accountable so here we go... family fun for Summer 2014.
