What better way to spend Spring Break than having a playdate at a friend's house and going for a nature walk huh?? Well... when you are with the Fortenberry, Amaya, and Thompson families it can turn into a mystery!! So we took the kiddos walking on the creek behind Kirsten's house. Walk... walk... walking along... and what do we find??? BONES!!! Bones??? Yes... BONES!!! They were just cow bones... BUT... I had to make it a little more exciting. So I decided to have a creative writing lesson for our three 2nd graders and make it into a mystery. There was trash in the creek... must not be Eco club members... just sayin'. So I used the trash and the bones and turned it into an airplane crash, the survivors were trying to live off the land and couldn't last long. The we said the may have been dinosaurs from long ago. Can't remember all of the theories we came up with. Hhhmmm... far fetched... YES... did our boys totally get into it and start making their own predictions.. OF COURSE!! Never a dull moment. :) Side note... the boys took the bones home to show their dad's and what do they say??? Every one of them says.. Gross.. those things may have mites on them. Get them out of here!! Fun ruiners!!!
