This was the fishing dock at a nearby lake. While we only brought three tiny nets and went along the shoreline instead, I still thought this was a pretty nice view! The girls ended up catching one teeny tiny baby fish and carrying it home in a plastic bag filled with water. They were super excited to put it in a bowl at home, assembled some rocks inside, and let the fish swim freely.
.....and then 5 minutes later the poor fish died. After trying a few home remedies that one of them apparently researched online, like adding table salt to the water (??) the fish was definitely dead. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
We made mini donuts! Straight out of an American Girl crafts book that I dug out of the depths of my bookshelf while desperately searching for ideas.
They're actually quite simple to make:
You'll need
-plain Cheerios
-powdered sugar
-chocolate chips
-sprinkles in any color
Steps
-Divide Cheerios in half.
-Place powdered sugar in a small Ziploc bag and put one half of the Cheerios inside. Shake it up!
-Place chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave.
-Take the other half of the Cheerios and carefully dip one flat side of them into the chocolate, then lay face down on sprinkles.
-This is easiest with fingers but toothpicks, etc can be used to hold the Cheerios also.
-Pick them up from the plate and put in the freezer for 5 minutes. Assemble your donuts however you like; it looks cutest in a little mini box!
This sounds so fun, my friend is a nanny and I get SO jealous of her job when I go along for days like this. Until the 3pm tantrums kick in anyway :)x
