100. Make your own melted crayons.
Yesterday I was desperate for something to do with the kids so I decided we'd make crayons in the only silicone mold I own - an old Homer Simpson ice cube tray. The kids had fun.

Crayons
This may be my last entry about the 100 activities for the summer thing. There are a few more I plan to do but am not sure I'll actually get to them.

backward day
96. Have a backwards day- breakfast for dinner, dinner for breakfast, dessert before your meal, wear your clothes backwards, etc.
You can imagine how much fun this was. I gave them ice cream for breakfast! CRAAAAZY! It was actually just frozen bananas that I put in the food processor. But we did add sprinkles and chocolate syrup. They never had ice cream for breakfast before so they just loved it! For dinner....guess what we had?! Breakfast! Woot woot. They always get a kick out of having breakfast for dinner. I made caramelized French toast (YUM), eggs, bacon, and one serving of potatoes from our garden!

Treasure Hunt
58. Make your own treasure hunt. Make a map (burn the edges to make it look like an old pirate map) and show how to get to the "treasure".
We had a lot of fun with this. There was 1 boobie trap and 2 stops leading up to the treasure box. Oh what fun!
$17.77 on the box and filler

Drive-in Movie
61. Have your own "Drive-In Movie". Give each child a large cardboard box and let them make their own car to sit in and watch the show.
Used some old boxes to create cars. Cut the lid flaps off and made the wheels out of them. The kids colored their cars. Claire wasn't very into this activity but Trent had fun. I helped him create a flame on one side. He added a "W" because he was making a "Woodland race car". One the other side he wrote his name. He added headlights and tail lights, and spokes on the wheels. The next day he sat in the car during part of a movie.

Forts
37. Build a fort in your house out of blankets
They had fun doing this with their Aunt and Uncle while on vacation.
We also played croquet on vacation but didn't have a camera or phone on us to take pix.

feed the ducks
82. Feed the ducks at a local park or pond.
Kevin took care of this one. While him and the kids were waiting for me to complete a race they fed ducks. The fact that Kevin thought to bring bread at 6:30am boggles my mind. He's fantastic like that!

potato potato
51. Do some Potato Stamping.
Trent decided he wanted a "T". Claire wanted a flower. I really enjoyed this activity - easier than I thought it'd be to cut a design into the vegetable.

cookies for firemen
46. Visit the fire department (and take them some cookies!)
On August 2nd we spent our morning making chocolate chip cookies. In the afternoon we met some friends and walked to a local firehouse to deliver said cookies to the hard working firemen that volunteer their time to keep our community safe. There was only one young man there but he was kind enough to show up a fire truck and even like the kids climb on it!
