Today we got to hang out with our friends and the kids had an amazing time just playing! It was so nice to sit and chat with my friend while the kids ran and played all over the yard! They were so creative in their play, and it was so sweet to see Bunny and her friend starting to act like older kids. I overheard them talking about being friends. Her friend asked her "Do you think we can be friends for long time?", Bunny answered "Probly forever!" SO CUTE! I love that I get to watch them grow into older girls together! :)
They also spent hours playing house in the playhouse, and building all sorts of creations out of sand and natural objects! Here are some pictures of them having the time of their lives! :)
This is a flag!
Bunny made a raft
(there is sticks in a row with a small pile of stones hidden under the leaves)
I got this surprise cake from Bunny
Her friend made this one for her mom
They had so much great summer fun!
What great summer play have your kiddos been up to?
It's funny, I remember doing some of the same sorts of things as a child. I'm so glad to see other families allowing their kids to just get outside and play. It seems like these days families are keeping their kids inside for more and more time doing things like video games and watching tv.
ReplyDeleteWe spend as much time as we can outside. I love to garden, so I've gotten Froggy Boots interested in that as well. Just last night we went out and planted some garlic that had started to sprout in my pantry. I poked little holes in the dirt and she put each clove in.
By the way, I noticed the container garden you have along your fence in some of your previous photos. I just love that idea! I was telling my husband about it last night. It has inspired me to try and add more container gardening to my traditional "in the ground" garden -- especially since we have a very small yard because we live in a townhouse. We planted the garlic in a container, so we'll see how that works out!
