"Fairy Stone Hunt"

Day 2 ~ Fairy Stone Hunt
http://www.fdlco.wi.gov/Index.aspx?page=390

This morning we woke up to a somewhat dreary morning and some sick kids.  We ended up "camping out" last night. Ben, Sawyer, Maisy, and I decided to sleep in the camper with the windows open.  It was so nice out last night, it was raining and there was an awesome breeze, I slept REALLY good.  Unfortunately, Ben, Maisy, and Sawyer are feeling a little under the weather today.  It looks like rain is in the forecast so I'm thinking we are going to be doing something indoors today.  Maisy and I have a play date and we get makeovers while the boys stay home and do their thing.


Since the weather cleared and it warmed up a bit we decide that today we would go for a fairy stone hunt. Now, it's a little known fact that out in Hobbs Woods there are magical fairies that leave their precious gems and stones for the little kids to hunt...I don't know, it sounded good.  But apparently the owners of the woods put them out there for the kids to find as they are hiking, it really is a cute idea. We always have fun when we go hunting for fairy stones :) 


The kids love it out here.  Lane really loves the woods. He gets down in the dirt and digs for stones and climbs trees. 
They were "wading" looking for fairy stones, and poor Sawyer fell in the water!!

We ended up finding 3 fairy stones and $0.07!!  We also found some cool rocks that were are going to use for another project later this summer.  We made it out of the woods before the rain totally drenched us.  It turned out to be a nice day that were lucky enough to be able to spend outside.  Can't wait to see what adventures tomorrow brings!!
