After School Fun

Posted by toddjensen on Mar 8, 2011 in everyday, family |

It’s always fun to pickup the kiddos from after school care. They seem to always be enjoying themselves, playing with their friends, working with crafts, beads, activities, you name it they have probably done it.

Leprechaun trap

Today was no different and actually I had to bust out laughing when I asked Ryan what he was making with all of the wonderful items including sticks, rope, trinkets and whatever else was around the “shop” at the time. He said, “Well a Leprechaun trap of course”. Leprechaun zip lineQuite ingenious, complete even with a built-in zip line.

Upon further inquiry I asked what the small bells were for and he proceeded to describe the inability for the Leprechaun to get a foot hold and stand up. That is by design of course, to keep him captive.

I’m always enamored about how children enjoy playing with everyday things. How the imagination invigorates the soul. Reminds me of childhood and the many fun times we had growing up.

Happy early St. Patty’s Day.
