Summer Camps

I had wanted to do a summer camp for a couple years. I LOVE planning and putting together these type of events. However, with preschool, it has been hard to work. So this was the first year to try it. Hard part was getting it planned alone. I knew I couldn't be as successful alone. I can plan all I want, but I needed the man power and place to do it. With the heat, there was no way to fit it in my house. I approached several people that I had hoped would do it. None took me up on the offer except for one. A good friend named Alicia, was crazy enough to take on the adventure. Better yet, she had an unfinished basement that we could use for the event and stay cool. So we started planning. I made a website to do sign ups. Each session would be a week long lasting an hour. We would do different themes each week. One week was Pirate and Princess. We had the kids Cambree's age, host it. They planned it, and put it on. Then we did a Science Camp, Art Camp and Olympic Week. I was so excited about these weeks. 

So I jumped right in to decorations. I made this as a fun way to enter the Science Camp. 

 These were for the pirate princess week. But on the back was science pictures so we could flip it over to use for the next camp.

 One of the crafts we planned was a rock painting.

 Cambree and her friend Marli did a lot of prep for the Pirate Princess Camp.

 This was our site.

 Another craft for the craft camp.

Cousins and Trampolines

We had a very busy first week of summer. We started it off with two High School graduations. Dagan and Morgan both graduated from High School. So proud of both of them. 

 Then cousins came down to do some summer camps with us. That also meant a lot of time together.

 During this crazy weekend, our lovely neighbors decided to use our play set and trampoline without permission. There were at times, 7 teens on the tramp. Well Brielle decided to finally jump on it when it was left alone. She went straight through the tramp. The neighbors had broken the tramp and didn't even tell us. I was just a little bit upset so Curtis went over to the neighbors to inform them. They offered to pay, so we had to start the process of fitting it for a new mat.

 Once the mat was on, the kids broke it in for a couple hours at night haha. Didn't last long but they were still excited.

Last Day of School

Another year come and gone. Crazy to think it went so fast! I took in the books to the teachers on the last couple days of school so the kids could enjoy them too. So grateful for these teachers. 

During the last couple days of school- Brecks teacher had them sketching. These are all Breck's sketches. I spot some major talent. She's pretty good. 

 Her original teacher showed up at the end of the year with these books for each kid about the first part of the year. Sweet of her to make them all.
