Here are pictures from one of the parks we attend with our Liahona homeschool group. It is an island playground filled with imaginary colonial Boston homes and a "Boston Tea Party ship". The island is surrounded by water filled with all kinds of ducks and turtles. Maeve likes to chase the ducks back into the water and step in lots of duck poop. Lots of fun. You can "shoot" this cannon and water spouts out of the lake, frightening the ducks. Of course both girls love to do that. It seems kind fo cruel to me.
Adelle lost her sun hat for awhile and wore this bonnet that my mother made her. I thought it was pretty funny that she was running around in a pioneer bonnet but it didn't even phase her. After Maeve threw her sun hat in the duck poop I tried to put her bonnet on her but she wasn't too fond of wearing it.
By the side of the water we saw these soft shelled turtles. Have you ever seen anything like them? I haven't. Their snorkel like nose helps them breathe underwater. They are kind of cool looking. |
