End of the Bucket List

At the beginning of the summer, we sat together and made a bucket list (SBL = Summer Bucket List) of  40+ things we wanted to do so that when the kids looked back on their summer, they couldn't say "we never do anything."  It was also great because as we did something, we could take the sticky note off the board and the next time we were looking for something to do, we could look at the things we had left.  We crossed all but 4 off the list...I may not have documented them all with pictures so here's a recap:
