~Hikes and Thunder Cake~
We recently joined some friends for a day of hiking and reenacting the 'Thunder Cake' story. In this book a little girl is scared of thunderstorms, but her grandmother shows her that there is no reason to be afraid of them and bakes a 'thunder cake' with her. Everyone had a lot of fun!
Our friends took us on a trail near their house. It leads right down to a beaver dam.
The kids had lots of fun using Shaila's new bug catching kit to study the wildlife near the dam.
They even caught a couple salamanders!
After we got back to the house, Mrs. H read the kids the Thunder Cake story.
Then everyone reenacted the book. First they gathered eggs from the chicken coop. Next they got tomatoes and strawberries from the garden. Finally they found the chocolate, flour, and sugar from the barn and churned their own butter.
Brandan's favorite part was the 'thunder cake' cupcakes!
Thank you so much, Mrs. H for such a fun day!
