City By Numbers

I wanted to do another summer o' fun series this summer...
I haven't fully gotten my act together. 
I was bummed out that it "wasn't" summer yet, but since Oregon has FINALLY stopped raining... maybe I will start my summer fun. Um, next week...

Here is what we did today though!

We read this book, which I LOVE!

City By Numbers...

This book has beautiful art... 
I have said to myself, "Is this a photograph?"
Here is "number 4":

So we went to our favorite downtown Salem to find numbers 1 through 10.
I was so impressed with Merrick and Berkleigh's imagination....

ZERO:



NUMBER 1:
(Merrick is killing me in those sunglasses.)

NUMBER 2:
(This is pushing it, but it was the closest thing we could find, and it was the last one we found...)

NUMBER 3:
(Backwards, but I say kudos to them for actually finding a shadow that looked like a three.)

NUMBER 4:
(At Nordstroms, where I then went in and coveted these amazing HOT PINK Toms for Berkleigh.)

NUMBER 5:
(Merrick found this one. Can you see it? I was just impressed with him for seeing it, so I gave it to him, even if it is pushing it a little.)

NUMBER 6:

NUMBER 7:
(Seriously, Merrick was so good at this. The seven is the screw and its shadow.)

NUMBER 8:

NUMBER 9:
(Part of the rectangle on the lamppost.)

NUMBER 10:
(I will toot Merrick's horn for him! He was so good at this!)

Anyways, it was fun to be out and to plan an activity like that. They loved it, I loved it. Quincy enjoyed the sunshine, and we all enjoyed this Rocky Mountain Carmel Apple afterwards.
