Summer Bucket List

The company for whom my sister, Karmen, works has a summerly bucket list competition.  Whoever completes the most items on the list between Memorial Day and Labor Day is declared King / Queen of Summer.  Now, who wouldn't want that title?!  This year, Karmen decided to let her family in on the fun.  We all received a copy of the bucket list with the instructions to keep track of all the activities that we completed, preferably with pictorial documentation to share with the rest of the family.  I needed no further prompting.  I was determined to become the Queen of Summer!  (Or at least have some fun working toward that end.)  :-)

So, here it is:
