I’m almost certain that I’ve enjoyed summer break more than our kids. In less than a week, it’ll be time for school to start and I’m so not ready. I’m not ready to give up my mornings of sleeping in. Or having to be near home every evening when it’s time for school to let out. I’m not ready for Addie to start kindergarten. I’m also not ready for our oldest to start middle school. Having a middle schooler makes me feel old! But I am excited that we were able to make lots of memories together this summer. Here are a few things that we managed to check off of our “family bucket list”.

– Visited a theme park and rode rollercoasters together!

– Tried new recipes as a family

– Stayed in a hotel (the kids love hotels)

– Visited the beach

– Visited a science museum

– Read some new books

There are lots of other things that we didn’t get around to this summer! We will have to roll them over to our ‘after school starts back” list!

If you have kids who are heading back to school, are you ready? Leave a comment below!

Photo just because we love photos! The kids have been practicing spelling words that they feel describe them! I’m a little mad at that lazy one!
