I’ve written a lot about our 100 Acts of Summer Awesomeness. For the most part, there were few duplicates. It was an adventure and it encouraged us to play, all summer. I’m so glad we did it; it really kept the fun going. I don’t know if I’ll ever do 100 again, but I always want to be doing Acts of Awesomeness, summer or not.
What a great, great summer it has been.

What an awesome summer!!!! That was mighty brave to do 100 items, but I love that you all did them and had a blast!!!
Thank you so much. About half way through the summer I panicked that I wouldn’t get through it all, but then I just took a deep breath and committed to having fun.
That makes all the difference.
