We're dreaming of summer. As the days lengthen and the temperatures rise, the allure of summer beckons with promises of adventure, relaxation, and endless possibilities. Embracing the spirit of the season, we find ourselves dreaming of sunny days spent exploring the great outdoors, lounging on sandy shores, and savoring the flavors of the season. In honor of summer coming,
we've started our summer bucket list. Let's dive into a world of possibilities and make this summer one to remember.

Super fun list and some very original ideas! I like the way you have organized it too. What's a skellzie? Thanks for linking up to the party.

Skellzies is a game. We're planning to play it outside with sidewalk chalk.

I'll have to Google it, sounds like a fun game to have in our repertoire.
