Creative Kids: Toy Bucket Ride
Brina and Karlie emptied the toy buckets and took them for a spin around the room
Life is never boring with kids around. While playing they often come up with some creative ways to find a little extra entertainment. The other day as I was busy getting some stuff done around the house I heard a bunch of giggles. As I go to check out what they are up to I found that they had emptied their toy buckets and were rolling around the room in them.
Karlie giggling and spinning in circles in the toy bucket
It was pretty funny watching them spin in circles around the room all tucked up in the buckets. Their hair was completely crazy with static and there were plenty of giggling going on too. It is amazing how something so simple can entertain the kids for a long time.

This fun activity entertained the kids for quite some time. After their adventure of rolling around in the buckets they put the toys back into the buckets. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to tuck our bodies in a bucket and spin around the room!

Sometimes it is the simplest things in life that can provide the most enjoyment and you probably have the items right in your house. I love it when the girls use their imagination and come up with fun activities on their own. Life is short and sweet so why not have a little fun too! What creative entertainment have your kids come up with recently?
Summer Activities: The Children’s Museum of the Upstate
A few weeks ago we purchased a local Playcation Package which included four tickets to The Children’s Museum of the Upstate. Our family spent several hours one Saturday exploring our local Children’s Museum. We had a lot of fun learning, playing, building, and spending a relaxing Saturday together. If you have not been to the Greenville Children’s Museum you should check it out. It has a lot of neat activities for kids of all ages.
Karlie and Brina taking Daddy for a ride! After putting items in the recycling truck the girls and Daddy decided to drive the truck, so much fun!
Daddy explaining how glasses work. This was a neat room filled with light waves and all kinds of fun stuff to learn!
Brina and Karlie looking through the lenses! They had a variety of lenses of various colors and distances that you could look through. Very fascinating!
Love their facial expressions, the amazement of how everything works! Karlie and Brina working the color spectrum. They were thrilled at all the colors they were able to create.
Daddy, Karlie and Brina enjoying the giant "Light Brite"! Neat idea! I think we noticed several different creations during our time in the museum. This piece captured the attention of kids and adults! Daddy did an outline of Karlie while Brina made her own creation. It was a lot of fun!
Karlie creating her own stain glass master piece! I was surprised at how long she worked on making a pretty stain glass window. She actually got quite a big section finished.
Brina carrying a large load of bricks! Brina working hard making bricks! The girls loved filling the wheel barrow with bricks and putting them back on the belt.
My three construction workers. This one was harder then it looked. The girls had Daddy help on this activity.
Built a house. The girls thought this house was so funny because it had one wall!
The seat cushions quickly become a number rainbow, simply amazing to a six year old! They were quite proud of putting this together!
Daddy helping Brina put together a memory box. They had a workshop where you could sign up and build something. Today was working on a memory box.
Daddy helping Karlie build a memory box. I was originally helping Karlie but since Daddy and Brina finished first Daddy volunteered to help out.

It was a great summer activity going with the family to the Children’s Museum. Thankful for the opportunity to spend a day together exploring. Thrilled that Greenville has such a wonderful place for families to go.
