YO YO

Another project that we did was our yo yo's. My mom and dad ordered a few yo yo's for the kids to put together and paint. It was a BIG HIT. They played and played with them for quite awhile and some of the kids could do some pretty darn cool tricks too. Better watch it.......... that drill is loaded and that mamma is mean. HA....that mamma doesn't have a mean bone in her.

The kids played with their yo yo's so much that their strings began to break so Sue found a site online to make your own homemade strings using thread and sure enough grandpa rigged something up to do just that.

still working on it while the kids play in the background.






Hailey painted a really cool design on her yo yo.

trying to figure out the perfect colors for their yo yo's.






Sharing the paint. I was very impressed with how nice and colorful all the yo yo's turned out. I forgot to get a picture of all the yo yo's together. DARN.






Rachel is painting her yo yo black and pink. GREAT COLORS.









Here they all are working on putting the yo yo's together. What a great idea.



This was a very cool project and probably the most memorable for the kids. They really played with their yo yo's and showed us some neat tricks. Once again another great idea.
