Fun at Snake Forest (Cedar Creek Harrow Ontario)

  Today we went to a hidden forest near Cedar Creek in Harrow Ontario.  We call it Snake Forest.  Its a pretty secluded place with lots of clearings and hills to explore if you can push through all the rose thorns.

Random Fun With Kids

 I'm loving his Luke Skywalker hair!  Yes, I guess that is an anarchist pamphlet on the floor.

 In one of my last posts I bragged about how cheaply I bought these kids clothes at the thrift store.  Well Lynden found an extra bonus in the form of a free Lego man that someone had forgotten in the pocket of his new shorts. 

A challenge to the reader: what kind of bug is that?

I don't know why but they absolutely love gutting melons.

Don't Buy Flowers, Pick Them!

 For a truly unique bouquet, go out side and pick flowers.  This floral gift will be on that reflects the seasons  and the unique beauty of your area. 

Use a very sharp blade and cut diagonally, (absorbs water better).  Be sure to cut enough stem.  Trim off most of the leaves, but leave a few to make the bouquet look full.  Be sure to get a good variety of colours!

Play Idea: Toy Map Drawings

We drew some play maps for our dinosaurs.  Its great to do this on huge sheets of paper.  Its a good creative activity for the kids that adds some new excitement to old toys.
