Summer To-Do List

I love lists. I always have a to-do list on my desk and I keep a list of recipes I want to try in the kitchen. So awhile ago I made a "to-do list" of all of the fun things I wanted to do this summer because summer is such a special time for making memories. When I went to post it though, everything went crazy and I gave up. But I figured I would try again. Especially because now that some time has passed I get to do the best part of a to-do list: cross stuff off.

Here are 30 things I hoped/planned to do this summer:

1. Bake and freeze zucchini bread made with zucchinis from our garden.

2. Make homemade ice pops and frozen chocolate-covered bananas.

3. Picnic at an outdoor concert.

4. Visit the Wild Animal Park.

5. Make Agua Fresca and Jamaica.

6. Host a dinner party.
