We love when we have visitors come to camp and see us. Today the children had a visitor among them and didn't even know it until after nap time. . .We began our day with the normal routine of breakfast, centers, role call, singing and bathroom break. We then split up into groups and began a craft while the other group went outside to play. One group came inside to play because it was extremely muggy outside today. We then switched all activities after about 30-40 minutes and allowed each group to participate in what the other group was doing. Every one was able to make a 'popcorn bag' for snack later this week. After group activities were over it was time for LUNCH!!!!! One of the kiddos favorite activities at camp is to eat, eat, eat! haha, I think every one enjoys a good meal though.
We had a wonderful nap time today, for the most part. Just about every one zonked out early today and slept hard. This week they have taken very good naps, it must be the heat and fact that barely any one slept last week. After nap time/rest time, every one took a bathroom break (as they woke up) and then got their snack.
Our special visitor "Arrived" after snack just as we began face painting. Ms. Keira our Crazy Dancing Clown came down the hall all dolled up for the children dancing away. The kids were laughing and running to her, having such a wonderful time. They were so distracted with her that they forgot they were waiting to get their faces painted. Each child was able to get a photo with her (if they wanted, some REFUSED) and all were able to get their face painted (some REFUSED this too). We will be having face painting and hair spray colors on Friday. If your child is upset they chose not to do this today, then they have a chance on Friday.
Tomorrow is swim day at the YMCA, we leave Doss at 9:20am. Please come dressed and ready to swim.
Friday is our first "Cook-out". We will be providing the Grilled Chicken and Hot Dogs and we ask that you please bring one of these three : Fruits, Veggies (raw with ranch) or Pretzels/baked chips. You are welcome to bring the item that is easiest for you but remember we won't need 100 bags of chips. . .We hope to see you all there! We will also be having several Festival style games and you are more than welcome to join your children. The groups will be traveling to the stations to participate and after nap time we will be having a"Create Your Own Sundae" snack. One of our parents works for Valley Dairy Freeze and she will be setting up for us here at camp! The kids will enjoy this special treat! Have a great evening and we will see you tomorrow!
