The big kids attended a two day 4-H bread making workshop in July. They made French bread and traditional basic breads from scratch. They did an experiment with yeast and even made unleavened bread. They were so excited about their bread, I let them wrap it in a blanket and take a loaf to bed one night! We enjoyed homemade French toast the next morning, prepared by Margaret.
Abby enjoyed her first Vacation Bible School and had a blast with the bigger kids, eating tasty snacks, blowing bubbles and playing outside with a giant inflatable beach ball. Unfortunately the week after, she got "Hand, Foot and Mouth" disease and was covered in spots.
AP at tended Bible camp for the second year in a row and was excited to have two school friends as bunk mates! He enjoyed boating in the pond, playing in the game room and attending chapel each day. Patrick also attended scout camp, soccer camp and two other day camps where he got to go swimming and roller skating each week and took field trips to the carnival ice skating and other cool places.
Margaret dressed up at Camp Cully, a camp she attended to learn about our town's history; including crafts and activities that focused on dinosaurs and the American and Civil Wars. On the last day, the kids made stew and bread & butter for parents and families and had a camp fire. Here's a picture of Abby stealing the camp mascott after eating her bowl of stew.
Margaret got a retainer! She got to pick the colors and decorate the case. Remembering to tighten it twice a week has been a challenge...
