Today's post is about a project we started this summer that absolutely fills my heart. I think that everyone with kids would benefit from implementing this in their homes. We purchased a sketch book and some colored pencils, they are "special" pencils and she only gets to use them to color in her journal :) We don't draw every night but we do many, especially after doing something new and fun.
We brought her book to our mini-vacation to Austin to document the trip with her wonderful preschool drawings. I had a friend tell me after starting our journal that they did this with all their vacations! Such a great idea! Below are the pictures baby girl drew of our trip.
The best part of this project is getting to see the world through your child's eyes. It is so innocent, beautiful, and colorful. Every picture she draws amazing me. Her beauty inspires me to see the world for the good.

The first day we went to the Texas State Museum, the natural history museum at the University of Texas. This drawing is her playing outside the building on the enlarged vertebrae they had as an outdoor exhibit.
This picture shows our trip to the Inner Space Cave. It's mommy holding baby sister and daddy set baby girl down to see the bat. She also drew some stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling.
On this day we went to the Austin Zoo and Animal Refuge. This picture is looking at one of the wolves. "He's a boy so he has a thing on his neck not a pretty neck like girls"
This picture is the day we went to the ocean, Padre Island. She drew herself and daddy playing in the waves with a couple pelicans above.
Our last adventure was at the Austin Science and Nature Center. We went to their Dino Pit where the girls could learn how to shovel and brush sand away from replica dinosaur bones. Her picture shows her with the shovel being a "real archaeologist"
It stormed our entire last day, so baby girl drew clouds, rain and lighting :) The sun is behind the clouds.
