Hanging out with my nieces

Today, my brother and his wife dropped off their two little girls. The oldest is 5 and the youngest is almost 2 1/2. I pulled out some paper, crayons, a few coloring pages, feathers and some tape. Then I watched as their imaginations took off while making hats and pictures!

After crafts we walked around the block doing a scavenger hunt. I love watching those two discover new things. I think every other word is "Why" or "What is" - I LOVE it! I hope they don't lose that yearning to learn. We walked past some other kids and my niece, who is 5, waved at them. I love this age because they want to be friends with anyone and everyone. They aren't judging anyone by what they are wearing or what they look like. They just want to run around and explore this exciting world.
