Here are some of this month's activities, in no particular order.
 |
| We went to Swakopmund on the coast of Namibia. We had a great time playing in the ocean. |
 |
| Ryan got some tinkertoys for Christmas and the boys LOVED them. I found some on clearance at kmart.com and got them some more. What a great toy! Unfortunately, I don't think the quality is as good at the tinkertoys I had as a kid. They have changed a few of the pieces, not for the better. Oh well. |
 |
| In Swakopmund we went on the living desert tour with Tommy. Best tour ever! Here is Tommy bringing Ryan back up a dune to where the vehicle is. Evidently it was easier to go down than up. :) |
 |
| In Swakopmund they also had a children's play place for kids to play as much as they wanted for about USD $4 a day per child. Justin and Ryan both enjoyed these boats. |
 |
| We went over to Walvis Bay and went for a dolphin and seal cruise. Unfortunately, Justin appears to get seasick. Note to self for future trips on the water! |
 |
| We use dot a dot markers on these coffee filters and then attached them to pipe cleaners for a cheery bouquet. |
 |
| Justin was exploring weighted numbers with the balance. Who knew there were so many ways to get to 10? |
 |
| We sorted things according to size. I had three different sizes of each object and the boys compared to put them in the right place. |
 |
| Here are some of the objects we used. |
 |
| Our yard is incredibly uneven and in a moment of weakness I made an indoor bike course for the boys. It really helped them figure out how to control their bikes. Now they can manage better on a bumpy, slanted surface. |
 |
| We traced things (like our hands) and measured them using nonstandard units of measure such as crayons. |
 |
| Ryan found this in the scrap box and insisted on doing it. I cut, he matched and glued. |
 |
| This month we have been making a lot of games. Some make more sense than others. I guess a lot of the fun is in the creation. |
 |
| For my birthday we went to Na'an ku se Wildlife Sanctuary. This is one of the animals we got to see. He and a few friends escaped from Etosha and needed a place to live where they weren't killing farm animals. |
 |
| Ready, aim, fire! We shot at targets. |
