24 Fun Summer Ideas: Food, Activities, Crafts & More!

Summa Summa Summa-time. School's out. The temperatures are rising. The days are long. It's Summer time and, I've got 24 FUN Summer ideas for you. Food, crafts, decor and so much more! 

Each of these projects were linked up at one of our recent weekly link parties.

I shared this photo on Instagram last week, saying you could find us at our local sprayground. And, I was serious! This is where we'll be keeping cool this Summer. Anyone else a frequenter to your local sprayground? They are the BEST!
