For me, the aroma of summer smells like BBQ.  Burgers grilling and buns toasting!  We kicked off our first summer in Louisville with a little cookout to celebrate the great weather.  We played with traditional potato salad by using sour cream and greek yogurt with a ranch dressing packet and boom - so good!  This picture depicts my happiness over said cookout and the fact that I haven't killed the herb kits I got at Target.  Success.

These pictures of burgers and potato salad are from our kick-off cookout last year, for the effect ;)

I've decided I'd like to make a Summer Check List of sorts, to try out fun activities to see if we'd like to make them traditions.  That's one of my favorite parts about being married - deciding on family traditions.  

The point of this post is to ask for your help! What are some of your favorite summer activities and traditions?  Let me know in the comments.  I'd love to add them to our list!
