We have officially declared June 1 as the first day of summer and last year we celebrated with a fun scavenger hunt since it was on Radley's bucket list. The kids loved it so much that we decided to do it again. Ryan got home from work and I had placed clue #1 in the mail for Ryan to "find" and give to the kids. They jumped up with so much excitement and ready to go...
The big difference this year? This kid read all the clues!!!
I wrote them while Radley napped that day so my creativity wasn't at its finest and all of the treasures were things we had on hand.
Like colored hairspray from rainbow day at school, but they.were.THRILLED!
The next clue took them outside so we could spray their hair.
Emmy wanted her hair down so she would look like a princess.
Landry was content with just her pony being pink.
And then we handed out the bubbles and they went to town.
It was so simple and such a great reminder that all the kids really need is us. Our time. Our attention.
Our eyes watching them so that they feel safe and loved.
Radley was pretty good at getting a ton of bubbles.
Landry, well... how cute does she look?
Emmy caught a bubble on her wand - and that somehow made her like Elsa, because clearly.
One quick rock star pose and then we headed inside to make some pizza.
It was maybe one of my favorite Monday's of all time.
Until Darth Vader showed up to ruin the fun.
;)
