Child vs. Wild

One of our favorite shows is Man vs. Wild. 
We all love it. We love to cringe and awe at the awful and dangerous stuff Bear Grylls does. 

Hunter is absolutely hooked!

Today, Hunter, Lily and Emma were playing outside and I told them that they needed to stay on our (still unfinished) garage pad at the front of the house.

Hunter stated, very matter-of-fact, 
"Mommy, I cannot. We are being Bear Grylls and he explores."

It was very cute. I decided to stop doing dishes and play outside with them. 
We had a grand ol' time! I snapped a few pictures for documentation of our survival efforts. :)

Throwing the spear we made

Testing out the bed :)


My precious little Emma



The "bones" of the shelter

Creative to the core, Hunter made a grass band-aid for a hard work inflicted cut

Softening the shelter floor

Spider snacks :)

Spider snacks, "beetles", "leaves" and the little finger is pointing at "droppings" :)



He was totally channeling Bear

Handsome little guy


Lily practically refuses to wear shoes. She was keepin' it real.

Eating the "leaves" :)

Siesta time :) Love him

And the whole survival clan in their new home. They DID NOT want to come inside after this :)
