25th Jan 2014: Something to swap?
We managed to get out on our bikes again today, before the storm came. I didn’t think to bring any treasure to exchange in any geocaches – we were going to have to leave a plaster (unused!), until we bumped into Brian who gave us a slightly more useful bunch of natural twine! Dylan gained a mini photo frame (we were trying to work out if the picture was of a ‘real person’ or just a placeholder). Must keep some small swapsies by the bikes…
This is Day 25 of a 30 Day Post-a-Healthy-Picture challenge
11th Jan 2014: Treasure Hunting on Two Wheels
This afternoon we went Geocaching and found some awesome treasure. For the first time, we BOTH took our un-stabilised bikes out together and Dylan was even able to push start himself a few times!
This is Day 11 of a 30 Day Post-a-Healthy-Picture challenge
DIRECTIONS TO THE TREASURE – Age 5
It’s from art. It’s where someone finds an arrow, then they find another one, and another one – and they lead them all around. Then they find different coloured arrows – they lead all around. Then they find different coloured arrows – lead them all around. Find different coloured arrows, lead them all around, and then finally, there’s the treasure!
There’s one ruby and one diamond. And all the circles are the money. And the person fills up as much as possible in their pockets as they can… And their hat – because they have a hat.
Son: Sun and rain always makes a rainbow! And there’s treasure at the end of rainbows. Have you ever seen the treasure mum? Have you got a picture?
Mum: No I haven’t.
Son: Yeah, the rainbow always moves – it goes away before you get to it to find the treasure. Some people at my school say , if you get too close to a rainbow, it moves to a different country!
It’s our garden and you’ve got to try and find the Easter eggs. But watch out, because some are FALSE Easter eggs!
That’s a flower on the table, that big tall purple one is a big apple tree and there’s grass all around to hunt for eggs in. They’re the steps to the gym [left], that’s the weight lifter in the gym [far left, on top of the door], but instead of weights at each end, it’s got EASTER EGGS!
D: I wanted to draw under the sea – and the gems are treasure! There’s an island with a palm tree and treasure on it [bottom left]; those things that look like ‘B’s are the waves; and there are stars all around.
D: That’s a boat in the lake, and that’s a pirate flag with a skull and crossbones. There’s a man downstairs, where the work gets done, and that’s the captain, with his hat on. There’s waves on the lake and that’s an island, with X-marks-the-spots and a palm tree.
D: It’s pirates – they’re the beaches [circles at the top], with trees on them and an ‘X marks the spot’. That’s the boat [centre], and I did someone swimming there [below the boat] – that’s their hair going up.
That one’s [left] got poorly legs because they’re all bendy and he needs to go to the doctor – a pirate doctor.
D: Did it hurt when I got the fly out of your eye?
Me: No, you were very gentle – Doctor Dylan.
D: Yes, I’m a doctor – like in Crete, when I made my tummy-ache go away. And I’m a scientist – remember – from my birthday? And I’m a money-finder. A doctor, a scientist and a money-finder.
Me: That sounds like a good mixture of things to be.
D: Yes, I’m REALLY good at finding money on the floor. I’ll find some for you, because you said you don’t have any…
Look! Oh, it’s a button… But it’s sparkly! Do you want it?
Me: Not really, thanks for asking though. It wouldn’t match any of my other buttons.
