Learning games: Sink or Float plus Baseball Drills

We had a little sunshine to enjoy in the afternoon, so we headed outside!  Lincoln has been asking to play Sink or Float because he loves that game at school.  The boys rounded up several object that they wanted to test out in the sink or float game, and Lincoln gave me explicit instructions about creating our chart to record the predictions/results.  They chose ice cubes, rocks, race cars, a dinosaur, acorns, batman, a flower, and coins (among other random things) to test in the sink or float game.  We documented our findings, and they had so much fun!!!! 
Daddy cooked us the yummiest fajitas EVER while we played our game, then we headed back outside for a little baseball skills practice.  Daddy and Lincoln worked on "point step throw" for a while, and Beau confiscated the sink/float bowl and had a blast stirring the items around and "cooking" soup!   
Our evening was filled with fun family time, and there is no better time than that!  They are already planning the next group of items to test in the Sink or Float game, and Lincoln is still talking about not doing the "windmill" throw!  No down time around here . . . always moving onward and having fun!
