Jolly Bubble, a dino movie rewatch, the very last ride on the Aquatarium train, the Aquatarium itself, mini golf, and a splash pad finish — this was a weekend built entirely around her favourite places, with her dad in town to share it.

Anyone else cry at drop-off and then order a full breakfast twenty minutes later?

First day of school is officially done. There was not a dry eye when I dropped her off this morning. Drove straight to Mavericks in Gananoque and had the full traditional breakfast — eggs, meat, home fries, the works. Did a little shopping just because the day called for it, then took the scenic route home along the parkway and snuck in some blog writing before pickup.

Summer, that's a wrap. 🎆
Dock dogs, a playground afternoon, grabbing pizza for dinner, a little shopping, and fireworks that finally happened after two rain-outs — this was our last big "just because" day before the school bell rings Wednesday.

Some seasons end quietly. This one went out with a bang.

Save this for your own end-of-summer bucket list, or share with a mum squeezing in one last big day before school starts.

No daycare today — my daughter wasn't feeling well

No daycare today — my daughter wasn't feeling well. But we still swung by to drop off the teacher gifts (mission accomplished 🎁), and she was feeling good enough for a dinner at 1000 Islands Brewery, then an evening Princess cruise on the water.
Sometimes the plan changes and it still turns into a good day.
