At the beginning of summer, the kids and I sat down and created our summer bucket list. The list of things we were hoping to do over the summer. We may not get to everything on the list, but it just gives us an idea of things to do.
School has started and we are now settling back into the routine of the school year. Our last week of summer was a fun filled one. Hubby was off for the week, and we managed to cross of 4 items from our list (Upper Canada Village, Driving Range, Lunch at Cheshire Cat AND a visit to the Carp Custom Creamery). In addition, Mr. J got to go golfing for the first time with his dad! Oh, yes, and we bought a car! Can't forget that one.

We ended up not crossing off everything from the list, but we did all the big things that we wanted to do. Did you have a summer adventure list this year? I would love to hear if you completed it!
What a great idea! And it looks like you checked a lot of things this summer. I will have to keep this in mind for next year; I love the idea of having reminders of things you want to do, because sometimes things get busy and I forget.
