Lots of Summer Fun!

It's only the second week of summer and we have already had lots to do. These pictures are in reverse order because I loaded them on wrong. Anyway, the first pictures are from Girl Scout camp this week. We only got to go the first 3 days because Thursday got rained out (it actually rained ALL day Wednesday, too, but we just had to tough it out in the rain). Tuesday was water day....definitely the campers favorite day..

Here's the group I was in charge of (5th graders). Meghan and 3 of her troop members were in my group
Here's Meghan's SWAPS hat. Whenever Girl Scouts go to a group event, they make SWAPS (Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere) and exchange them with other scouts. The girls make something small and attach it to a safety pin so that it can be hung from a hat. Meghan usually comes home from camp with about 80 pins that they decorate with the camp theme in some way.

Nick even gets to go to camp since I'm a volunteer. He gets to hang out with a boys group

craft time...making suns, moons, and comets (can you guess what the camp theme is this year??) If you guessed space, you're correct

Meghan and Tess

Last weekend, I took Meghan and 2 friends to the water park. Meghan won
4 tickets to the water park through girl scout cookie sales. The girls had a great time. It would have been more fun if it hadn't been almost 100 degrees that day:)

Awards Day

Fourth grade had their awards ceremony on Friday. Meghan won several awards - "A-B" honor roll, excellent study habits and excellent behavior. She also got commended on all 3 of her TAKS tests this year. We are so proud of how hard she works in school - she always does her very best.

For a science project, Meghan's class tie-dyed t-shirts last week. They got to wear them to the awards ceremony. Meghan had such a good time and the shirts turned out so well that I may get the kit and let the kids and some of their friends make shirts this summer.

Fun at the cabins

We went to my parent's cabin in Jefferson this weekend. I think the highlight of the weekend was fishing on Monday morning. Nick figured out that is was easiest to let me and Ryan catch them and he got to reel them in - of course, he took credit for catching all the fish :)

Here's my big catch....
