Leaf pile

The other day we made a leaf pile. Andrea and I had a leaf fight. We had fun.  We are planning to play more today before it rains.

Bragging… On Momma

hitWhen we went to Gathering at Five Metals Mark saw the tomahawk throwing. He did good throwing it. Then the lady in charge asked Momma if she wanted to, and it surprised me when Momma said YES!

I would have liked to do it to, but you have to be 16.

First day of Camp! Monday, July 11, 2016

Last week we went to Lake Ann Camp! Mark, Andrea, Audrey, and I woke up at about 5:00 in the morning, to get ready to get in the car so Daddy could  drive us to camp. In the car we listened to Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis.

At about ten we got to Lake Ann. It was not crowded yet. When the rest of the campers got there we went to our cabin. After we got settled in our cabin, we put our money in the red canoe, then went and played games. One was soccer with hands, but you can’t grab the ball.

The next game was called “Poop Deck”. There were three decks, the first one you started on was called the Poop Deck, the next deck was the Main Deck, and the last deck was the Quarter Deck. To play, the leader will say a deck’s name and you have to go to that deck, if you go on the wrong deck you go out of the game.

Then we played Atomic Bomb, our team was U.S.A and the other team was Russia, Each team get small balls, and there is a big blue Atomic Bomb in the middle of the Sea. You can not go into the Sea. If you do you drown. You are trying to get the big blue Atomic Bomb on the other teams side, if you do you get a point. To get the big blue Atomic Bomb on the other teams side you hit it with your balls. You win if you get three points.

The last game we played was the boys and the girls split into teams and one team cleans up trash and the other goes into a singe file line, one person runs around a cone then goes back and the next person does it. When the other team finishes picking up trash every one freezes if you got all the trash you are the running team. To win you get the most points, points are every person that ran around the cone.

Then we had lunch which was pizza, then had a swim test. Once we were done with the swim test (I did not take it since I have not learned how to swim yet) we had archery then free time, then we had dinner, then more games, then chapel which we were learning about Abiding in God’s love. Then we had free time then bed time.

I had a fun first day of Camp!

Summer Reading Program

AdrianA few days ago we went the library’s summer reading program. The program was on some fun summer ideas.

Audrey was showing off her butterflies and how to raise them. I got my caricature done. I also held a hermit crab! I found the chess corner. I played 3 games of chess. Momma said there was origami.  I headed that way but saw a card trick that looked interesting so I did that instead.  After that we went home because I had soccer.

Frog (and Tadpole)

Something is dying…

What is it…

Do you know?

Answer: Cells! Tail cells that is!

Our tadpole (the one with front legs) is almost a full grown frog!

P.S.  Since he still has a tail stub, I think he is considered a froglet now.

Soon we will have to let him go, because a frog needs to find its fortune 🙂  If we keep him here, he may die.  We might not be able to find him enough flies.

It was fun raising him.  I will enjoy watching the other one for awhile.  I hope to raise more later!
