Outdoor Play Kitchen Rebuilt

Last Spring the kids and I made an outdoor play kitchen for them to play in. They had a wonderful time with it but over the winter it fell into disrepair. So I decided to make another one. I changed the location and used a little different design this time. But the fun is still the same.

Looks like a good salad!

It's amazing how much fun some old blocks and board, empty containers and imagination and creativity can be!

This Week's Outdoor Fun

We haven't been outside as much as usual this week because of the heat. But we did get out some in the mornings before it got too warm and some evenings after it cooled off a little.

Here the kids are looking at a spider.

Playing "fetch" with Roni.

One evening Amanda and I planted more beans.

One morning we found a Robin's egg shell. This was very interesting to the kids after our bird week a couple weeks ago.

After looking at the shell Hunter and Lauren tried to find the nest in the tree. I don't think they ever found it, but the spent a long time looking and talking about it together.

Outdoor Play

We had a fun morning outside yesteray. The kids are glad to be outside again every day after being stuck inside the first few days of the week because of rain. Here are some of the fun things they were busy with this morning.

Michael enjoyed drawing with sidewalk chalk. I had noticed that the kids weren't playing with the sidewalk chalk much recently but this morning it made a comeback.

Lauren was busy cooking up something good in our outdoor kitchen.

Macy and Tre used the picnic table for a road.

Macy took on the job of mowing down the buttercups.

More fun with wheels

Roni joined the fun for a little. She had surgery Thursday and is wearing the cone on her head to keep her from licking the stitches.

This hole in the ground provides so much entertainment. One of their favorite games is one I call "Stuck." One child pretends to be stuck in the hole and the others come to the rescue. This game can keep them busy for a long time.

Michael decided to water the flowers and soon everyone else wanted to see what was going on.
