One thing I have started to do is sensory bins. My first attempt at this was a hit! We did an ocean-themed bin with ocean-scented oil, spaghetti (cooked and dyed green) for seaweed, shells and rocks, water (dyed green), and some sea creature toys. The boys played with it for at least an hour straight, completely entranced.

They loved the "seaweed"
We also learned a lot at a recent trip to Happy cow Creamery, a local dairy farm

The zoo is always an educational experience! Dada took the boys to Hollywild a couple weeks ago.
Geese are hilarious!

Grady and Anson also both hit their goals for the library summer reading program! Grady got a really nice medal, a pencil, and free tickets to the water park as well as tickets to a minor league baseball game (where the reading champs will parade in and get their names on a billboard!). Anson got a board book and was very proud.
We have been busy checking things off our bucket list and learning lots of new things! We will start up our "country of the week" again next week with Egypt!
