The kids went to a birthday party for friends at the Tamarack Nature Center this past weekend.
Here they are with their seeking scopes, looking for the treasure box.
They found the treasure box! What's inside? Stickers and tattoos.
Everyone got to carry back some of the trail markers and animals we saw along the way.
M got a slinky last weekend from my mom and dad. I guess three years old is too young for him to play with it "properly". Don't get me wrong, he and his sister had a blast playing with it. They were very creative and stretched it in ways I didn't know were possible. The first time it got tangled, he wanted me to fix it. It was work to get it back, but fixable. This, clearly, is a hopeless cause. He told me he wants another one for his birthday and that he won't "break" it again. Hopefully the next one will last longer than two days!
We visited the Jackson Street Roundhouse on Wednesday with some friends. The kids had a great time going inside the train cars, playing with the train tables, coloring train pictures, blowing train whistles, climbing up on trains, walking on train tracks...lots to see and do there. We'll have to go back on a Saturday when they give little train rides on the roundhouse.
