After starting my list in summer 2010, I asked my 10-year-old son what he would put on his own life list. Made for a very interesting discussion, and we're having a lot of fun knocking things off of it and adding new things to it. Here it is:
Meet the Mythbusters Thought we'd have to go to San Francisco for this, but they are coming to Toronto and we've got tickets! Happening in March 2012.
Done! January 2012
Done! We tried a kayaking lesson (June 2011) and went canoing during a camping trip (July 2011) .
Done! Got to the finishline of his first 5K on the 5K course of the Goodlife Toronto Marathon (May 2011) in 39:25!

Done! Sally joined us September 1, 2010.
Done! Our two camping trips in summer 2010 gave him great experience as Fire Master.
Done! We went to a double feature in August 2010. Played in the 'old school' playground, loaded up on snacks at the concession stand, and snuggled in the car with our pillows and a duvet. So much fun!!
Done! He got to have a 1-hour lesson as part of a summer party thrown by my office, July 2010.
Done! We took the Zephyr to Flowerpot Island and back during our trip to the Bruce, July 2010.
