Every summer I do my best to squeeze every bit of joy from the long, warm sunny days. I make a calendar of all the weekends of summer and fill it with fun activities and adventures. This year I made a bucket list to go along with my calendar so whenever I have free time I can make a check off the trusty bucket list!
