Summer Camp Week Three

It's Carnival Time!
Last week was carnival week and packed full of fun and games, afterall isn't that what you do at a carnival?
The week started off with everyone making their jester hats to be worn throughout the week.



It was such a HOT week that we were all happy to have LOTS of water games to play.


You gotta eat chili dogs, caramel popcorn and elephant ears when at the carnival. We went to Ms. Ria's house and had a fun afternoon of cooking and lounging.


A carnival isn't a carnival without some clowns! Mrs. Prosser and Mr. Berg were good sports and wore the clown suit on a few occasions.


We all got a turn at trying to play the steel pans which are a big part of the Caribbean carnival held at Christmas time. It was amazing to listen them play and think that such beautiful music could come out of an old oil drum.


On Friday for the grand finale of carnival week, bouncy houses, electric cars, cotton candy machines and lots of other fun was brought in for the day. The kids ran from one spot to another and had ALOT of fun! Dora even came for a visit and of course all the younger girls LOVED that!

Summer Camp Week Two

Welcome to Wild, Wild West Week!



The week started off with tending to the garden and playing some games outside before it got to hot!




We went down in a grove of trees near the ocean to cook hot dogs and make s'mores.














Morgan had a good time climbing the trees and being with her friends.




Of course they went and played in the water. This week was at a pool of the parents of a student and then the beach at the Marriott. On the two days Morgan and I stayed home Tisondra came over and they had a good time in the sprinkler. It was a new thing for Tisondra and she was asking at 8:30 in the morning to turn it on. Good thing it's warm here ALL the time!



They were taught how to square dance and line dance. Square dancing was a big hit with all the kids!




We finished our week with a picnic at Brimstone Fortress. Notice the 4th of July themed placemats they made for the occasion.
