Park Day 2.0 BINGO

We decided to join in the fun and play Park Day 2.0 Bingo.

We printed out Finn's TEN Bingo Cards on different color pieces of paper.

 

 All month long, we were trying to find the stuff on the Bingo Cards (in no particular order).

Finally we put together a Master List of all the things we found all month long and it was time to play BINGO.

 I (Lassie) was the official BINGO Caller in the house (since I'm the Head of House), Mommy checked over the 10 Bingo Cards, and Benji was the Bingo Verifier to make sure we actually got a BINGO.

We got a BINGO on Card Number 7.    Ah, Lucky 7 !  

Bingo = Find a Dog Playing Frisbee, Find a Butterfly, Park Bench, Visit an Urban Park, Find a Geocache.

 

Our Bingo Adventure took us all over the place!   

1.   Flat Lassie and Benji  visited "Smithville" in NJ an outdoor shopping place with park-like surroundings.

We saw a wooden  Butterfly and lots of other wooden things for sale.

 

 

We saw a statue of Uncle Sam in an arcade (that counts as a monument or sculpture).

We saw Flowers on a Wind Chime at a store.  

Mommy liked the Wind Chime so much -- she purchased it -- and it is now hanging in our backyard for all of us to enjoy from Smithville. (That's Benji in the picture on the right.)

We even saw a Park Bench at Smithville that had wooden cut outs of dogs as the sides of the bench.

And even though it wasn't on the list, we saw a train.

 

2. Next our Bingo Adventure took us to the community lake.  (Its our nearest body of water if you don't count the bath tub.) 

There was even a squirrel we spotted by the lake!  We were barking our heads off as we drove by!

3.  Flat Lassie and Benji visited an Urban Park in Philadelphia and saw a dog playing frisbee.

 

 

 (Well, the dog kinda didn't catch the frisbee, the sun must have been in his eyes. The human threw the frisbee and it went right past the dog.) 
 

4.  And finally, flat Lassie and Benji got to use the computer, and we looked up what "Geocaching" is and found a park to go to.

This was our first ever geocaching adventure.  We went to "Liberty Lands Park" in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia (this park is more than 30 minutes from our house) and brought a pencil along with us because that's what it said for us to do. We were supposed to find a minature Lemonhead Lunchbox with something inside for us to sign.

 

When we got to the park we saw there was a mural painted on a wall and it was pawsome. It had 3-D Birdhouses and insects on the wall of the building.  (That building is actually the back wall of a bakery.)  It's funny because the park entrance is located on a one-way street. Mommy drove down that street before when she went to the bakery to buy rye-bread, butt never noticed the mural on the building because she would have to look in the rear view mirror to see the mural.  (Mommy was like -- I can't believe I never knew this mural was there.)

 

We went to the Park twice to try to find the Geocache!  We had to go twice, because when we went the first time, we looked in the garden for the lunchbox and didn't see anything. So, Mommy looked again on the computer and Mommy forgot to read the secret message on the Geocaching site that said to look at the foot of the mural under a log.  Ooops!

 

So we went again the next morning and we looked specifically for a log.

Looking for the log at the foot of the mural.

We found the "log" butt Mommy said the "log" looked more like an entire "trunk" of a tree.

 

Mommy couldn't figure out how to get under the log to find the miniature Lemonhead lunchbox because plants were growing under the log.  The log was slightly elevated off the ground with bricks.

Mommy said she wasn't gonna try to move the log -- because it looked too heavy.

So, we just took a picture with us with the log, and hope that counts as finding the Geocache!  I'm sure it counts!

What a fun Park Day 2.0 adventure.  

Have a great weekend everyone!
