We're Goin' On a Lion Hunt!

One thing I really love about kiddos is their imagination. We checked out a book "Going on a Lion Hunt"(based on the children's rhyme) from the library and the kids LOVED it. We read it over and over and over. Then one morning we were in Kate's room and they started dressing up. Dallin put on a beach hat, grabbed a pink purse and started packing pretend food for us to take on our lion hunt! Dallin as a jungle explorer (not a cross dresser...LOL) with his hat and supply bag packed with food.
Suddenly, we were all getting ready to go-getting hats, packing supplies. It didn't matter that we were dressed in beach/winter/fuzzy pink princess gear....we were goin on a Lion Hunt! The kids grabbed a puzzle box top to use as the map and we were off. Kate reading the "map"....hmmm looks like we are headed for 24 pc Mickey in an airplane.
We saw zebras and elephants. We walked through long grass and through sticky swamps. We stopped to camp and to eat. We even found A LION!! Kate being the lion!
Of course, we ran back to our home to be safe after that....until we went hunting again. It was a magical morning!
