Baby Turtle

Not only have we seen two turtles lay eggs in our yard this year, the girls also found a baby turtle. They were very careful with it and then went and put it in the woods.

Model Magic

Jennifer sent something called Model Magic with Jonas one day. It is sort of like play dough except it has a different texture. They attempted to make the things pictured on the package but eventually gave up and made creations of their own.

 

The package claims it won't stick to fabric, but that is a lie. As you can tell, Lilly's stuck to the blanket and Jonas stepped on some and it was a pain to get off his shoes.

A Treasure Hunt

Lilly and Lucy read a book where a child followed clues to find a treasure and they wanted to do the same thing so I made them a little treasure hunt.

 

The first clue told them to go to the hammock.

 

 

There they found a clue that told them they each had to swing three times and then go to the strawberry patch.

 

 

Our strawberries are planted in an old plastic wading pool.

 

 

 There they had to smell the strawberry flowers and then go search the vegetable garden for the next clue.

 

 

Lucy found the next clue hidden in the sugar snap peas.

 

They had to count all the tomato flowers and then search for their final clue at the play house.

 

They both spotted the final clue and after climbing through the tunnel at the bottom of the play house they headed to look for the last clue on the kitchen door.

 





 

The last clue told them to go look in the freezer. There they found ice cream cones.
