Unofficially Summer started this weekend with the celebration of Memorial Day, but summer arrives officially on June 21st (Summer Solstice). It is time to make our Summer Bucket list. The sisters list some of their ideas to help inspire you to create your own list.

treasures, body surfing in the waves, or just digging your toes in the sand.
