sounds like a busy summer of loveliness!
This all sounds like fun. I had thought of also visiting a different park and we were also going to visit a different snow cone stand each week and try different flavors each time. We have so many in our area, we thought it would be a fun Friday afternoon activity. – Shelly
I love this, I hope you will come and share it on my first link party ” Summer Bucket List Ideas” http://www.missinformationblog.com/2012/05/summer-bucket-list.html
What’s funny is that I found most of the things you listed in the “with the family list” more appealing for me and my boyfriend to do than the other one. What can I say, I’m a kid at heart. And your newest subscriber
