Bb is for Binoculars

We are a VERY active family! We like to get out of the house often to go to playdates, to the park, or to the Library for story time. Since we live in FL and in a VERY family friendly town, that is not a problem. But when we are up here in TN visiting and helping family, we really don't get to get out of the house often due to weather and no places to go (and also the fact that we are spending precious time with family). This leads to a very restless mommy and kiddos that are itching to get out of the house. Granny and Pa have 5 acres of beautiful land that we LOVE to run around, but honestly we just aren't used to weather that is below 50 degrees.




So as a way to run around alittle today, we went on a hunt. I placed Blue circles all around the house (actually the circles were supposed to represent bubbles and the prize would be bubbles to blow outside, but it rained all day so mama had to change plans), that had phrases like "go to where you brush your teeth". They had to go to each place to find another blue circle (there were 10 in all), so they were running all around the house going to the next destination. The last circle said "Bb is for binoculars" and had supplies to make our very own: 2 toilet paper tubes, markers, stickers, and tape.

After they made their binoculars, they ran to the porch to watch the birds. And boy did they not disappoint! We must have seen about 15 different birds out enjoying the 20 minutes of no rain. We are so excited to see them eating off of the pine cone bird feeders that we made earlier in the week too.
