"Camping" Party

Morgan, Serena and Shelby hamming it up in the tent.




Last night we had a "Camping" party for our Kids of Integrity and Club 68. The kids enjoyed identifying sounds they might hear while they were out camping, (owls hooting, the call of a loon, chopping wood, coyotes howling and a babbling brook) and also raced through an obstacle course. (trying not to drop the eggs off their plate!) For our snack, you guessed it, SMORES!

Don't drop the eggs, Jon!
Steady, Ashley!

C'mon Serena...you can do it!



And Trey is under the table!


We also learned about the "Weather Rock."  It is very inexpensive to make and is 100 % reliable for predicting what kind of weather you're in for. (sorry David Spence!)  Every morning upon exiting your tent you can easily see by looking at the rock, what kind of weather to expect that day, so you can plan your day accordingly.

If the rock is dry....you have good weather.
If the rock is wet...it's raining.
If the rock is swinging wildly from side to side...it's windy.
If you cannont see the rock...it is foggy.
If the rock is gone...there's been a tornado.
If the rock is white...it's snowing.

You get the picture...how many other weather conditions could you identify using the Weather Rock?  Drop me a note with your suggestions.  Thanks, that's all for now!
