this week marks the first official start to summer here in hilversum.... no school until mid-august.....with that comes the role of full-time entertainer for me!
today, we decided to have a scavenger hunt outside around our house. the kids each took a notebook and i had them write down 3 things that they thought they might find around the yard. i helped the boys spell the words and even helen pretended to write down some words.
after writing down the words, we headed outside to check the items off their lists. we didn't make it 2 feet out the door before each kid realized there were more items they wanted to write down..... so they wrote down a few more items on their list and we proceeded on our scavenger hunt.
their lists included dirt, sticks, deer, swimming pool, garden, bushes, rocks, pine cones, bees, birds, and even cars! we ran out of time to finish our scavenger hunt... lunch takes a priority to scavenger hunts :) even jillian was kicking and "talking" as the kids hunted around the yard!
we'll finish the rest of the hunt tomorrow!
