After building a snowman last weekend, the days have certainly gotten warmer. This weekend was 30C (87F), so we jumped into the canoe and spent 2.5 hrs on the river, followed by a weiner roast with friends at the take-out.
We stopped on a rocky shore to take a break. Conan promptly asked for his nature journal, made himself comfortable, and spent a good half hour creating.
Kaia chose to collect clam shells and she thought each one was prettier than the last.
On Sunday Kaia and her dad went canoeing and fishing and then spent a couple of lazy hours swimming at Echo Dale.
We spent about 8 hours outside today – it was a terrific day!

I painted a rock like a lady bug when I was little. I think I still have the rock, one of the very few things that I kept seeing I’m not that sentimental.
I would love to do this with my kids. Is there a special type of paint that you use?
Blessings,
Kimberly

Hi Kimberly – you need to use acrylic paints (our dollar stores sell the larger bottles for $1 each). They had so much fun and have asked 3 or 4 times since then to paint rocks again.
