While Abbie has been away at camp, James & I have been keeping ourselves busy doing lots of experiments!
We have grown Magic Rocks in a variety of colors! Grown bacteria in our kitchen-made petri dishes.
Dissected an owl pellet to find a mole skeleton
Bubbles are always a summer treat. James kept busy pretending the sudsy water was a dinosaur burial ground, a lake with boats, a lake with boats & swimming dinosaurs that ate the people in the boats… and of course, he had fun blowing through a straw to make BIG bubbles. A good way to keep a 5 year old busy for 5 minutes!
The sleeping bag was a cave, and of course Max wanted in on some of this floor-time fun!
We’ve also enjoyed cousin time. Maya is getting so big! She is starting to really enjoy playing with the big-kid toys. Her Mama was tending to her animals on Farmville – I think Maya was gardening (big grins!)
I turned a brown 3dollar Goodwill hat into a lovely Red Hat for Nana.
(The yellow on the above flowers were later covered in purple glitter glue, a much better match)
Nana looks amazing in her fancy hat… but it’s not hard to make her look amazing, she is one of the most beautiful ladies I know!
