Flower Hunt

Something fun that I would like to share Hailey and her friend Trevor did on Friday 8/29/08 with Mike and I . I had this idea to go on a flower hunt since we live right by Jordan River Walkway. We gave the kids each a bag and let them pick flowers to make a collage later. Mike and I did the cutting and away we went.

They collected mostly dandelions and sunflowers but they had a great time. It was so fun when they would find a flower one would yell to the other "I found a flower" and the other would run over to see what kind it was. Hailey mostly picked any and all yellow flowers she seen. Her friend Trevor mostly wanted purple ones since the collage was going to a be for his grandma. While on the walk we seen waterfalls and the kids thought that was awesome. A few bees scared Hailey and I. Mike would just laugh at us.

But after 1 1/2 hours walking the kids got tired so we headed back home. They didn't want to hold their bags anymore so Mike attached them to sticks. They looked so cute walking the trail like a couple of hobos. So I snapped this pic really quick. I love it so much I emailed it to his mom and she loves it too. We went home and glued all the flowers to some cardboard and voila! Flower Hunt collage.

Here's a picture of Hailey's Flower Collage.
