This week has been our first official week of summer vacation. So far, so good. We have been spending a lot of time outdoors. I truly find that just stepping outside changes my children’s entire way of being. They instantly relax and instantly start smiling…me too! The other day when we were at the park and I did something that I love to do…I gave my daughter the camera. She had free reign to take pictures of whatever she liked in the park. It is so much fun to watch her wandering around, setting up her shots and snapping away. What a difference digital technology has made in our lives. Here is a selection of some of her shots. I love seeing the world from her perspective.
Yet again, it was a joy to make my way through the incredible posts that were linked up to last week’s Outdoor Play Party. I especially enjoyed seeing how folks were creating art outdoors. Check out The Children’s Art Group’s fun group art project, painting with coloured ice.
I also was totally inspired by Play Create Explore’s stunning post where they captured a spider web on paper.

Wow, thank you for featuring both of my activities! We had so much fun doing colored ice painting with our friends, and though I HATE spiders, the capturing their web was so neat. Thanks again!
Love this & I know exactly what you mean about the holidays, just having the chance to enjoy a cup of coffee (or 3) rather than rushing out to work each morning is what makes the summer holidays so special. I love seeing what children will take photos of & you get a little view of their perspective on the world. Kierna
