Congratulations to the winners of the Spring Adventure photo contest!  Each photo entry was a masterpiece and accompanying poem was exceptionally creative.  Our ParentGuide^® Kids had a blast going through all the impressive entries.  It was tough choosing the top three.

Grand Prize:
Lexie from Holiday

Lexie's Photo Entry:

I like the outdoors when spring arrives because the cold weather is gone, baby animals are being born, children are having fun, no socks, no shoes, picnics with American girl dolls, pretty dresses, flowers are blooming, the world is waking up, people are falling in love, the world seems happier, Mother Nature is happier!  And that makes me happier!

Second prize:

Alyssa's Photo Entry:

I like the outdoors when spring arrives because you see the sun shining everywhere. Do you see the sun shining on the shell on the right? it¹s green, brown and a little white. I found it on a warm spring day. I wouldn¹t want it any other way.
 
Do you see the shell on the other side? I got it after a really nice boat ride. Both of the shells are brown and green. Now I can go and get some ice
cream.
 
I found them on the seashore on a warm spring day. I didn¹t find anymore and wouldn¹t want it any other way.

Third prize:
Emily from St. Petersburg
Emily is accompanied by Lexie as she receives an author signed copy of Lanie Real Adventures book.

Emily's Photo Entry:


I like the outdoors when spring arrives. First, I like when I go to the beach. Second, I like when I run through the water with the breeze in my face. Third, I like building sandcastles. I love being outside!
