Summer Fun!

I found this list online, chock-full of things awesome. I've decided I ought to incorporate as many as possible into my summer experience, before I get to the MTC (and my life becomes much more focused.) My dear friend Ben has pledged his support in this endeavor, and I think the list should be pretty much neutralized by the end of the summer. Although I'll have to find something to replace such things as wine and coffee. Also, I'll have to find me some childrens. That could be interesting. Maybe Wal-Mart has them.
