When Logan was a baby, we received an offer in the mail for a free 'Top Secret Adventure' from Highlights. So we cashed in on it and set the adventure kit aside. As I was FINALLY unpacking our school closet this week (it needed doors before I was willing to empty those boxes) I came across the kit and realized that the kids were finally old enough for it! Woohoo! They were quite excited.
The first part was an envelope containing a puzzle that revealed their 'mission'.
Then they were able to open the case file. It included a world map, cards of the suspects, a guide to Greece, and a book of puzzles/ research questions that would help them solve the mystery.
They worked at it for hours, Annie on one page, Logan on another. In this picture I think Annie was decoding something, and Logan was answering research questions. I've decided that I'd be willing to have more of these kits, but I'd never pay full price for them.
One afternoon I realized I hadn't heard Alex in a while so I went looking for him. He was in the bathtub! Funny guy. If it weren't for the fact that he constantly plays in water, I would have let him stay there with the books. I didn't want to run that risk with our 'water boy'.
I've already shared this picture on our other blog, but this beautiful baby has caught the book love disease. She is constantly flipping through books (and occasionally tearing them too) and has a favorite shelf to unload. We've moved the more sturdy books to that shelf now.
