An Enchanted Childhood Playschool ~ Summer Camp ~ More Plant Fun!


This week we read Eric Carle's The Tiny Seed. 
We did two fun plant projects to go along with our plant study.


First we did a simple plant rubbing.








Investigating seed pods!


 
We also did a Pinterest-inspired plant project.





There is nothing better than having hours and hours of freedom to explore, learn, run, play...



What's that behind the tree?


Oh I seeee you!


Hurrying off to the garden!







A yummy addition to our lunch!



Big Creek Fun!




Visiting the chickens is always a treat!




Every afternoon, we gather in the front yard to play and wait for parents!








And sometimes, the children slow down enough to sit and have a little chat!


 Just a few weeks left of Summer Camp, and the we off on a new adventure!
Can't wait to share what we have planned for fall!

{this moment} - A Friday ritual, inspired by SouleMama, capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.






Twenty years ago, I dreamed of this day!
I saved all my children's playmobile for my grandbabies!

Water Babies


My girls LOVE water.


Whether is it bath time (in either the tub or the sink),


Or our little creek,


Or Nana's and Pap's pool,






Or a pond, river, lake, waterfall, whatever..







We all feel at home near the water.


A month from now, we will be back at our most beloved shore.




Where we feel most at home.


We can hardly wait!

Bunny keeps saying "I so esited to go to the beach! Can we go tonight?"
I really want to tell her yes!
But there is not much longer now
