Good morning! This week is really flying by for me. Is it the same for you?
I had another amazing and fun day with my little ones. Did I tell you how stinking cute they are? When I got home, I was telling Gary again how little they are. I have almost always worked with 3-5 yos during my teaching career, so he was teasing me-- "did you think they were going to grow in 24 hours?" It took me a while, but I realized that when I taught in classrooms, everything was small. Being outside, everything like our picnic tables and benches are normal-sized and nature is, of course, huge!
We were getting ready for our mini-hike and were walking along a path by the main building. The guy who founded Trailbound Porject (where I take the hiking and Wilderness First Aid classes) was getting out of his car to do a program with the older camper group. My kids were jumping around and showing off to him-- "I got a backpack!!" "I have a blue backpack!" "I have water in my backpack!!" He got such a kick out of them,-- even offered to me that if I needed him to ever do a talk with these guys, to let him know. These kids are *that* cute.
It is hard to tell from the picture but the owl masks came out adorable.

Today is going to be very hot so we'll spend the morning exploring the stream and make frogs out of egg cartons.
My plan for our game is a take on Drip Drip Drop-- which is a take on Duck Duck Goose, but with a wet sponge. Instead of Drip Drip Drop, we'll say Ribbit Ribbit Plop! That idea came to me as I was washing dishes yesterday morning. See Debby, the brain never turns off. Well-- the "teacher brain" never turns off. The rest of my brain is hit or miss.
HAGD!
