Well, the time has come to send our children back to school and there are definitely mixed emotions in our house. While I will be grateful to get back into the regular routine I will be missing the slow mornings and adventures that come along with Summer break. To celebrate back to school, Asmodee has some fun games that are sure to get your kids in the spirit of heading back into the classroom.

I didn’t have any adventures this summer. Spent the time at home.
My favourite adventure this summer was checking out all the great night markets and festivals in our city. We loved it as it felt like we exploring our city for the first time.
We did a day trip to the Cultus Lake Adventure and our kids loved it. They are already asking to go back again next summer!
I loved going to the pool and the park with my kiddos this summer!
