  4. The smell of coconut is a summer thing for me and I love that for lotion or sunscreen. Hope y’all have lots of fun water time this summer!

  5. I will definitely try the watermelon, feta, blackberry bites. They look simple, cool, and delicious. A simple summer sounds nice. 4th of July on the lake is so much fun...my oldest daughter is moving just after the 4th so probably won't come to the lake til later, but I think my younger daughter will be here with her babies. Have a nice weekend!
