Will They Catch Him?

There are several children in the park this season ranging from ages 2 to 10.  Our activities director schedules weekly events to keep them busy such as "story hour" every afternoon.  Some of our park guests enjoy helping out with this and other activities.

With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, they thought it would be fun to make Leprechaun traps to see if anyone could catch one of these magical little fellows. Each child, using their creative imagination, came up with their own design and with help from the adults were able to build the traps to their detailed specifications.  They used sweet treats to lure the Leprechaun to the box that springs a trap door to capture the little guy. The traps will be set out Sunday night throughout the club house. I'm sure the children will be anxious to see what they find come Monday morning.
