This Sunday is, apparently, Earth Day! I had to look it up to be sure. I love some of these clever ideas for the kids…When Baby O is older I hope to try some out with her…
Going Left-Right and Top-Bottom…(TL: Plant Pals, TM: Can-Do Robots…my Favorite!, TR: Party Hats out of Maps and a gorgeous DIY globe, ML: Tin-Can Herb Pots, MR: Earth Day Craft Crayons, BL: DIY toilet paper roll peat pots, BM: Earth Day Party Favors, BR: Grass-Head Guys).
Perhaps if you have older kids, you’ll enjoy trying some of those ideas out this weekend! Yesterday Baby O and I met her cousins at the Zoo. It was her first time to go and I was soo excited for her! I brought my fancy camera in hopes of catching some priceless moments of her brushing the baby goats in the petting zoo. Turns out she was much more interested in the playground. We played here while waiting for her cousins to meet us…
I processed these a little different, for fun. The thing about playground equipment is it’s usually a bright color and it bounces all over onto your kid’s skin tone when you’re taking photos of them. Have you ever noticed that?? So, I processed these with a bit of a “vintage” tone, to pretend the color variation was on purpose!
I love these next three because she has these very goofy moments every once in a while, where she’s hopped up on excitement and she starts babbling up a storm and flailing her little hands around as if she’s talking with her gal pals about something oh so juicy…
Here she is waiting to go across the “shaky” bridge…
…and her genuine excitement when her Big Cousin comes bounding across the bridge…Seriously, she’s not yawning – She is pure excitement here…
And a quick shot of Little Cousin…
These are the only pics of all three of the cousins together from yesterday…sitting in a hippos mouth. All around a GOOD DAY! (Minus the stomach bug that Big Cousin ended up getting!)
Sooo, I’m thinking that, in honor of Earth Day, we should all try to get out and enjoy the great outdoors this weekend!! Have a good one!
(P.S. Check out the Stella & Dot Giveaway if you haven’t already!)
We had so much fun too! Let’s do it again (minus the stomach bug)!
We went to the zoo a week ago and seriously, the goats weren’t that much fun! You have really captured some great expressions on O. The look of trepidation before she crosses the bridge, the look of excitement when her cousins come. I love watching her discover her world.
