Happy Columbus Day

The buddies had a school holiday today, so we invited our favorite triplets over for a Columbus Day play date. We celebrated exploration!


When our friends arrived, we made binoculars out of toilet paper rolls. Everyone enjoyed painting their creations, but before long, the four boys lost interest and scampered off to play t-ball and frisbee and "kickedy - kick ball", leaving our little Kylie all alone, happily painting.

Once the binoculars were dry, each kid received a map of the backyard, with directions towards the first letter of their name. It was so much fun that the kids traded maps and hunted for each other's letters too. Then, they used their binoculars to search for other fun things. They discovered squirrels, trees, ants, pond fish, clouds, trees, and grass.

A highlight of the play date (for me, at least), was that Miss Annie brought along two extra adults with her crew. So, for the first time since we started meeting for play dates over a year ago, we almost had a 1:1 adult to child ratio. Thanks for joining us, Miss Kay and Mr. Brent!
