The end of summer or "The last fling" as we called it.

Elizabeth thought it would be nice to have the children remember their summer experiences by painting what they did...with MUD! Yes, we painted with paint and mud and parents couldn't even believe it was mud. I don't advise you to try this at home, it can get pretty messy but the kids loved it. It also looked great with blue paint...here is a close up of a union of mud and paint.

We also had the children make abstract images by blotting paint onto the paper and folding it. You should have seen their excitement when they would unfold the painting to see their creation. Take a look!
