thursday
Thursday we got to spend the entire day with friends!
How nice.
As early as could be managed, we were heading up the canyon for a hike to Doughnut Falls. So called because the river comes down through a round hole in in a giant slab of rock.
It was a very lovely day--the only way it could have been improved is if a mishap not caused some of our group to need to leave early.
We carried on with our adventure, but they were missed.
On the way up the canyon we noticed a couple of beaver lodges, so when we were fixing to head back down to the valley, we mentioned that we thought we'd go and check out a beaver lodge.
We couldn't get close, as the meadow was a swampland (a very, very fine spot for a beaver community!), but there was still adventure to be had and discoveries to be made.
And lots and lots of butterflies to be admired!
Soon enough we made it back toward home, and it was decided that we'd all supp together, so we stayed the evening with our friends, as well.
Swimming. Jumping. Tea party.
When a few of us -with friends in tow- made it back to our house, we settled in right well, too...
snuggling in for a couple of tired little girls,
and some midnight mad pool play with glowsticks for the boys and I.
Yup. That will do.

wednesday
let's see...
first thing Maddie was outside in the front flowerbed looking for snails and other Friends.
an' making Poison Berry concoctions.
and we played the Letter Game! we like it.
"Mom... you see this white stuff stuck between these two snails? What is that?"
"They're probably mating... making babies..." went to see.
yep. pretty sure that's what's going on. :)
then it was time for Through the Meadow. and the turtle and crab.
(this is the second game we had made up in less than 24 hours... quite pleased with ourselves are we...)
an' there was swingin' on the tree swing,
dreadlock prevention (not me),
and a visit with the dog across the street (animal lovers, my friends).
ScoobyDoo and the Glowing Bugman (pc game),
Phineas and Ferb (yup, I was right 'bout that, Melissia)
"Mom! Will you take my training wheels off?!?"
running,
Harry Potter (Chamber of Secrets from Netflix... seen it -or at least little parts of it- 'bout a dozen times, now, in the last few days...),
chasing and screeching
and gettin' tossed into the pool--voluntarily.
yup. that sounds about right.
nothing and everything.

Through the Meadow
Today it was Maddie's turn to make a game!
Again, we used the bi-fold foam board from our Elmer's Kids Craft Camp box (go here to enter for your own craft supplies!).
Actually, we just used the same board - she wanted to flip it over and use the other side of Letter Game for her game. Fine by me... the more games and uses we get out of the foam boards, the better!
"I want my game to be through the meadow of flowers.... over a sandy beach, and into the sparkly blue sea!"
"Ooooh, sounds lovely..." so off to work we went.
It turned out very well!
And we played four times. :)
Then it occurred to me that since we were traveling to the sea, I should make a sea turtle for my game piece.
"Ooooh, great idea! I think I'll make a crab!"
So out came the polymer clay.
And there you have it.
