Summer Chain of Events, Week 4

As you already know, the "Summer Chain of Events" got put on hold for most of the week.  We got back from Destin on Saturday so Sunday was the only day with a link on the chain.  Just to keep with my previous format...

Monday, July 16th: Destin Beach!!!

Tuesday, July 17th: Destin Beach!!!

Wednesday, July 18th: Destin Beach!!!

Thursday, July 19th: Destin Beach!!!

Friday, July 20th: Destin Beach!!!

Saturday, July 21st: Headed home :(

Sunday, July 22nd: On Sunday we took some shells we got at Stuart Beach back in March, some sand from Destin Beach, twigs from our yard, plaster of paris, and water to make sand-casted starfish.  This is my favorite crafty activity we've ever done with the kids.  It was pretty simple but did take two hours to be completed and dry.  Here are the directions we used.

They turned out great!

I really love the way these came out and that they're made from two of my favorite beaches.  Once we figure out how to get wires on the back of each one we'll hang them up.  If anyone has any good ideas on how to do that, I'd love the help. 

Only two more weeks of our "Summer Chain of Events"!
