I took the day of rest seriously today. So much so that I did not change out of my lobster jammies until after noon today. And I did not really cook either. Unless you call this cooking: slicing one pink lady apple, two small Murcott tangerines, and what was left of the Perlette grapes, and mixing them together in a bowl. I call it fruit salad. I don't blame you if you find this culinarily boring.
What I DID do, was go on a small adventure with my daughter. Per Amanda, this apparently requires an Adventure Pack. (See picture)The contents may vary, but these were are some items carried with us today: 1) a notebook and something to write with. 2) a jar with a lid, with small holes drilled in the top 3) a camera 4) an empty envelope 5) sunscreen 6) water bottle and 7) an adventure book by Keri Smith- filled with ideas for items to collect or observe and note your findings. Next, select a locale to conduct the observation. We chose Coon Rapids dam, a few miles down river. The picture below is from the middle of the dam on the Mississippi River, looking toward my home. Can you see it? (It's just around the bend to the right, and up the hill.) Probably not, unless you have super powers. Though if you had super powers you would probably be too busy trying to fix the world to read this blog.
We both observed a rainbow, visible just above the only smooth part of the water beneath the dam, next to the rapids.
Amanda also picked up about a dozen rocks on the path back toward the parking lot. She put them in a jar to observe later, and plans to bring them back when she's done. But then it was time to go back home because we were having the Gries family over for game night. Which usually means Killer Bunnies! And laughing so loud that the vibrations set off the doorbell.
All in all a successful experimenty relaxing day.
