Back-to-school rituals

(The Baltimore Sun)
Monday was little J.'s first day of day care. To commemorate the occasion, I put him in one of his cutest outfits and took pictures.
That got me thinking about back-to-school rituals as a new school year begins. Some schools in the area have already started.
How do you get your children and family ready for a new school year? Do you go on a trip each year before school starts to enjoy the last days of summer? Do you share a special meal the night before the first day of school?
