Treasure Girl

A few days ago, Ava and I went on a walk like we do just about every morning. We decided to take a bucket with us and keep our eyes open for any treasures this time. As we were looking and finding things, she decided that she wanted to be called Treasure Girl for the rest of the walk. She was so proud of her finds and wanted to come home and lay them all out.

A list of the things we found:

-2 handfuls of leaves

-about 20 acorns

-purple flowery branch

-a yellow flower

-a bike reflector

-2 ball point pens, one black, one red-both still working

-2 dimes and a penny(my children take after me and find coins EVERYWHERE we go!)

-2 rocks

-a bottle cap

-3 dead stems with dead flowers on the end

-a broken sprinkler head

-3 plastic pellets

-2 pieces of weed-eater thread

-part of a sand dollar

Not included in the bucket was one silver hoop earring, which we left where we found it in case it belonged to the people living in the house near it, and a live tarantula. I was prepared to catch it in the bucket, but Ava declined the offer this time. (thankgoodness!)

After laying all of the treasures out, Ava proceeded to get my meat mallot and smash the acorns to smithereens. She had a great time doing that and thankfully no tiles were hurt in the process!
