Jake’s brother, Jason, is embarking on a new adventure. He is moving west to be reunited with his wife after living apart for six months. We stopped over tonight to say goodbye and wish him safe travels. Grandma Patti is going with him on his cross country adventure.
The Stowaways.
The Shecklets and Uncle Jason.
Nana gave the three older Littles wooden paintable crafts to work on. I was going to have them paint on a rainy day, but I figured a muggy/cool/overcast one was close enough. Little #1 painted birds, Little #2 painted dinosaurs and Little #3 painted two picture frames. Tomorrow she will get to add painted stickers to finish them off.
This week’s “Tour of Parks” stop took us to the local nature center. Little #1 visited here for a school field trip last year and saw how they make maple syrup.
Here are the three older ones by the frog statue made from trash pulled from the Mississippi River.
They had lots of fun playing in the sand and water.
There was also a huge garden where the kids were encouraged to water the flowers, vegetables and herbs.
The kids asked when we can go back again, so we will definitely be adding today’s stop to our “must return” list.
