Keepsake Rocks

Last summer we brought home two rocks from The Pinery in Grand Bend as memory rocks. Then we brought home one from Long Point Beach and two from Marble Lake where we rented a cottage this summer. I see many more rocks coming home with us in the future. I thought I better find a jar to keep them safe. 




I found this cute jar at Dollarama for $1.50. It comes with the label and a piece of chalk. I also write on each rock to remember the date and beach we visited.

Love it!

I am really happy that I made a bucket list this summer. Summer can often slip away fast and I found it kept me accountable. Nick contributed to it which made it even more special!

Summer 2016 Bucket List:
  • Go to a farm
  • Go to a park with sand and have a picnic (Nick's words)
  • Go to a Zoo
  • Go to the beach
  • Go to Old Marina Restaurant (Meg's idea)
  • Take Nick to his first movie (Finding Dory)
  • Go to St. Jacob's Market
  • Read at least 2 books (Meg)
  • Go to Storybook Gardens
  • Go out for ice cream at DQ.
  • Go to the library (Nick's request)
