Thursday

Sorry we were not able to post an update on Thursday!  We were busy preparing the special exhibit!


On Thursday, we enjoyed a team scavenger hunt around the yard.


The prize at the end was a huge bucket of water balloons (our awesome neighbors Kappy and Ash were sweet enough to fill 200 water balloons for us ... their efforts are very appreciated by us and the campers)!

In addition to the scavenger hunt, one art project comes to my mind as I reflect on Thursday.  We taught the girls (and ourselves!) how to create with encaustic paint.  This melted wax paint is not very commonly used with kids (partly due to the danger that comes with heat, partly due to the cost, partly due to the difficulty in using it), but it was fun and educational for us! I think their paintings (the ones with squares on blocks of wood) turned out great!


Thanks for taking the time to read about this past week!  We had a blast!
