Collections.

We finally had a Saturday with no obligations, so we asked the girls, "what should we do as a family?" They discussed ideas together and then said, " we want to go down to the beach and work on our collections." Our house is turning into a bit of a nature museum with all the little treasures they find scattered about. There are shells, rocks, feathers, and even bones (probably from past turkey dinners--although they SO want to believe they could be dinosaurs). 

The sun was shining, but the biting wind made it feel down below freezing. We wrapped everyone in as many layers as we could convince them to wear, and off we went.
We scoured the beach for a good half hour before our ears were aching and our fingers were feeling a little too numb for fun. But good collections were never made without a little hardship and adventure.
