Dear Bugaboo...We got the cutest idea from a friend to make pretend soup out of things we find in our backyard...like flowers and leaves. So, we decided to make "squirrel soup," for the little squirrels that live in our tree! We put water in a bucket, and started looking around for all of the ingredients in our yard. We collected grass, leaves, rose petals, rocks, and anything else that we could find!
You stirred the soup and pretended to taste it, and then we added a few more ingredients.
When you decided that the squirrels would like it, we hung a rope over a tree branch and tied the other end to your bucket. Then you used the rope to pull the bucket up higher and higher into the tree. You had so much fun raising it up and lowering it back down again! And then you discovered that if you pull the rope hard enough, the water would splash out of the bucket! You splashed out the water again and again, and each time it spilled it made you laugh!
This was such a fun activity for a sunny, Friday afternoon! Maybe next time we will see a cute little squirrel waiting up in the tree for us! : )
All of our love to you, always and forever,
Mommy & Daddy
