My kids love the book Roxaboxen. They've since created an imaginary land in our woods with homes and stores and even a 3 foot deep well to catch rain water (ewww). They will be out there for hours and hours! I love it.

Last week hubby and I went out and cut back the new thistle bushes so they can move easier and my dd and I blazed and lined a trail to the entrance of the woods (mainly so I can find them easier!). They were so happy that we "played" with them!

They even have a big fallen down tree that is Fort Irene, another area by a stone wall that is Fort McHenry (can you tell what we studied that week?).
I didn't want them going too far so I named another tree "The Entrance to the Dark Zone" so they wouldn't want to go that far! LOL!

They are having so much fun I hate to have them come in for school!

What a great post! I'm so glad to hear about kids getting out and doing these sorts of things. Yay! It is not all Nintendo and Play Station! :)

No TV, video games or handhelds here. I think that's why they are so creative. They think Mathshark is a gameboy!LOL! They do make their own DELL laptops out of construction paper and folders, though. I guess that's from me being online too much! LOL!

How neat! We're coming over to your house! My kids would absolutely love an area like that to play in.
