    You know, I don't have a summer bucket list! Maybe I'll make one for next summer! I am working on my tan though and "Water For Elephants" was great! I can't wait to see "Something Borrowed". Have you guys tried "Apples to Apples"? My husband and I love this game! And braids are really in right now! I think you're hair would look super cute with one of those french braid head band things, you know what I mean?! :)

    P.S. I left something for you on my blog: http://themommyhoodadventure.blogspot.com/2011/07/sunshine-award.html

    Pinterest is super addicting, but will give you some great ideas for food and crafts and fashion and just about everything :) I also want to see a drive-in movie, such a fun summer thing to do! Good luck completing this!
