I have been doing art journals with the kids this summer. It is a class I signed up for from Big Picture Scrapbooking. It gives us a journal and art assignment each day, mostly about the summer and about yourself. The kids really enjoy it. At first, it was hard to get them to do it, then once they did they liked it. On this particular day, we were to toss a coin to tell us to turn left or right. We decided on 20 tosses, so when there was an intersection that would go left and right, we tossed the coin and let the coin decided where we went. We wandered around in then desert around our hours for a while, then we ended up crossing over the freeway and driving around in Jared and Melanie’s old neck of the woods. We were hoping for a stop at some fun and exciting place like an ice cream shop, but we just ended up at a plain old corner!
What was so funny though, was as we were driving around, a storm warning came on then radio. It looked like it would get bad, and there was plenty of lightening, but it mostly blew over, with just a few raindrops. It made the kids nervous though, so that added to our adventure.
After our drive about town, I took them to lunch for another entry in our journals about having good manners. We tried a new place for Hunter, but he did great. In fact, he chose to go back there again for his baptism celebration.
Here is a picture from our night of hair…they played with mine and Maryn’s. Ellie did this and it actually turned out pretty good!
Then just a funny thing…I can’t remember now what was so scary, but Ellie made us all laugh when she said she was so scared she had to bite Maryn’s nails!
