The last days...before school

We took today in the 100 degree weather and off to the parks we went. We tried to feed the ducks, but the fish were more into the whole idea of feeding. They would leap over each other to get at the food, it was very fascinating!

Then onto the second park, there we took a walk to this really cool and big tepee. Abby was the first one to make it there. Once Tori got there, she took off her shoes and sat down in the sand. Oh how she loved the sand.




Next we talked to the top of the tower that they use to look for fires. It took a really long time to climb, but both kids did great. It was fun how the weather changed as we got higher. The more we climbed the cooler it got! You could see for a long ways too once we were at the top.




Next we went to paint ceramics. Tori chose a mushroom to paint and she also choose to use lots of colors to make her rainbow.





Abby decorated a dog. They both really liked making these and the price was right too for this "keepsake".




Below is a little video that the made about their painting experience.







It was a fun, long day and we all enjoyed it, even though it was really, really hot! Tomorrow it is just Abby and I for her last day before school starts!
