Nathan’s uncle Bob makes all kinds of things out of wood. He made a beautiful box full of wooden blocks in different sizes and shapes for the kids. They all love building with them. Samantha and Timmy decided to build a chair for Joshua. Here is the chair without Joshua in it…
Here is the chair with Joshua in it…
The day I picked up Samantha from camp I also dropped Timmy and Nathan off at their last camp for this summer. This one was in Pennsylvania about 30 minutes from Samantha’s camp. The theme for the week was Space Camp. Here is Timmy with the troop he was paired with…
Here is Timmy and his group doing some kind of skit…
The troop Timmy was with had another Timmy in it. Here is a picture of Big Timmy and Little Timmy as they were called…
Since it was Space Camp they had to something with the theme so here is Timmy with his rocket that they made out of a soda bottle…
After all of Timmy’s camping adventures, Samantha decided that she wanted to go back for more camping as well. The only option open to her was a 5 night camp by herself. She decided that she was okay with that so we signed her up for a session called Mess Fest. We tried to get her into the horse camp but it was full. Nathan and I dropped Samantha off the day after her birthday. She was placed in the Jasmine tent…
We helped Samantha make her bed and made sure she was settled in and waited around until another girl in her tent showed up before we left her for the week. Here is Samantha sitting on her bed….
I packed two disposable cameras for Samantha but her picture taking skills were not that great. We also packed the extra cell phone for her but where they would allow her to have it they did not have coverage and they wouldn’t let her walk around to an area that had cell coverage so we didn’t hear from her all week. I think that part was harder on me than her. Here is a picture that the camp took of Samantha with her counselors and the other girls from the Mess Fest session…
We both survived the week although I still haven’t figured out if she wants to go to another week camp next year or not. :)
My picture files were out of order. BEFORE Samantha’s birthday, Timmy went to an overnight camp at the same camp he went to for Day Camp in Ohio. Nathan and Timmy enjoyed it SO much that they came home for a couple of days and went back the next weekend for another session! :) I had the camera during his second session so all of these pictures are from the first session.
Here is Timmy playing Bocci…
During the time Timmy was there a traveling RV came through that was celebrating 100 years of scouting. They did a presentation for the kids. Here is a picture of the RV and a picture of Timmy…
Here is Timmy learning a new craft…
With all of these Boy Scout camps, Timmy has been getting better at his archery. Here is Timmy by his first BULLSEYE!…
And lastly… this camp had the same theme as his Day Camp… Knights of the Round Table… so here is Timmy at the end of camp being Knighted…
After Samantha’s party the day was filled with Christmas. The campground had a Christmas craft where the kids were able to make ornaments. Then after a potluck dinner Santa arrived on his golf cart….
He gave presents out to all of the kids and when he learned that it was Samantha’s birthday, he had everyone sing to her…
I even heard that after we left to go back to the RV that Santa gave one woman an engagement ring from her boyfriend! :)….
After all of the excitement the kids hung out at the RV with their cousin Alex before they headed out in the morning…
