100th Day of Kindergarten

"100 Places I Have Been in North America" - Lucas Anderson, 6 years old
Today marks Lucas' 100th day of school. Ironically, he's probably only at 94 days of school for all the times we missed last fall to go on adventures. We won't tell if you don't. :)

Anyways, I HAD A BLAST doing this project. It gave me an opportunity to dig through my photos and bring the memories back to life. So often, our photos stay stuck on the computer as if in a vault. This is motivation for getting to those photos and get some on our wall to share.

It was very hard to only pick 100 places. I had to delete some and I'm pretty sure I could have easily found 1000. This poster shows places from 25 different states (he's been to even more) and two countries. I love it and it makes me smile!
