Giggle Hee Hee: Camp Rock

Wow, the summer is flying by, and I haven't kept anyone updated. SORRY!!!

Well, I do believe there is a very good reason as to why I have been MIA. . . . . . so I have this wonderful friend Jamie, that is like my kindred spirit (seriously). I love love love her. She has incredible ideas for EVERYTHING. I just adore her and her family. Anywho, at the beginning of summer Jamie called me up and said "I have an idea. . . . ."

I mean now come on, what was I suppose to say to that? "I don't want to hear it?" Ummmmm, NO. Of course I asked what her great idea was and this is what she told me.

She thought it would be fun to do a summer camp for our kids. (don't know about all of you, but I read about the summer camps that they have available during the summer and wish that I could "afford" to send my kids. This is the same with Jamie. Well, she had the idea to just do it all ourselves, and she wanted me to co-head it up with her. How could I say no? We ended up getting a few other moms involved also to help out and invited their kids to do camp to. We didn't want to kill ourselves over it so we opted to have it for only the month of July. Twice a week for 2 hours.

Then started the fun part.......coming up with ideas for the camp. After much thinking and talking it over as to what we wanted to get out of the camp this is what we came up with. We would have four different topics and do a different topic each week. That way we would have a total of 4 hours per topic.

Our winning topics:

Mad Scientist

Lights, Camera, Action

Kickin in the Kitchen

Art-a-palooza

So here is the first week-Mad Scientist

We did bottle rockets, they were awesome, mine didn't go very high, but they were still really cool. AND, my truck got washed in the process.

Ky's turn

T, running to get his bottle that he shot

PUMP IT, PUMP IT

We talked about density. So this is water and oil. Ky kept trying to get them to mix. LOL

Oh this is fun. It is "clean mud" it was also a tone of fun. Some of the kids didn't like to touch it, but it was still fun. (water, grated soap, and toilet paper)

This was the "egg toss." Remember in like Jr. High when you had to "protect" the egg when you threw it off the top of the school. We did the same thing. Out of the 11 kids, only 2 broke. So we think we did pretty good.

Okay, I was in charge of the bubbles. I asked.......okay told, Jamie that I wanted bubbles for the science part. She let me have at it. We did bubble snakes and did the human bubble (that was a favorite)
