It’s Summer–Arctic Frost!

Things got a little chilly here this week!

We started by reading about igloos and then attempted to build our own.  We used the toy bins as our “ice blocks” and an umbrella as our “cornerstone” at the top.

Some of our projects!

We made SNOW!  We mixed conditioner and baking soda to make snow.  Andrew played with it for FOUR hours straight!  FOUR!!! 

We attempted to make marshmallow igloos.  Baileys turned out…Andrew’s never had a chance.

We couldn’t have a frozen week without making ice cream.  Bailey was shocked when it actually turned out!

I froze water in a couple old baking sheets and around some lego figures so they could ice skate!  This was also a big hit and turned into playing “pond” as the water melted.

Another thing Bailey enjoyed was looking at polarbearsinternational.org and seeing where real polar bears are and have walked with the polar bear tracker.  Pretty amazing.

Happy Father’s Day!

We headed to the lake for Father’s Day. 

They run from the start of the dock and jump off the end….talk about a running start!

Grant’s Firsts!  (boat ride, dip in the lake and out on the Jetski!)

Grandma and Grandpa got to come too!

It’s Summer–Wild Wild West!

Howdy!  We had fun week of outlaws, cowboys and jailbirds!

Anyone seen these people?

We had a gold rush.

And painted a cactus.

We decorated boots, sorted wagons and made “bad” dream catchers!

Of course we played guns, had duals.

And had to send the bad guys (and girls!) to jail!

And we finished by getting out our tent and having a cowboy camp out….inside.  Bailey and Andrew even slept all night in the tent.  Giddy up!
