<p>Sounds like fun–all things I would love to spend my summer accomplishing… hopefully there are a lot of group-on deals for these activities as it could quickly become an expensive summer…especially with Mav’s expensive taste in food (aka melting pot). Maybe he would like a fondue pot for his birthday?</p>

<p>I love this idea of creating a specific list for just the summer. I have a Life List but I love the concept of keeping it to a certain time frame. The ideas are great also. Now I want to go make some homemade ice cream. Yummy, maybe add some strawberries in it π</p>
