YAY FOR CAMP TONSOFUN!!!
**Disclaimer: This year's camp happened in the middle of the hustle & bustle of summer/traveling/work/church/& other responsibilities so it wasn't a big & elaborate as it usually is. You'll also notice I took fewer pics each day as the week progressed just because we got SO busy. SO just know we had a blast & got a TON done, even if there's not a lot of pictures to show it.
This year because I was SO busy getting seminary, singing time, work, & other things done, I allowed each of the kids to plan one day of camp tonsofun themselves. They had to come up with a big chore/project to clean, an activity to do together (games/projects/crafts), something fun to bake, & a treat/reward for doing a particular chore each day. They had to pick a treat, then come up with a cute saying to put on them. They had a blast with this. And at the end of the day, they got to pick their favorite dinner to eat as we spotlighted them for that day.
Day 1 was CRAIGER'S special day.
We started the day with our activity which was making a homemade volcano.
(which took FOREVER, but was a BLAST to make).
We mixed up the plaster, poured it into a mold & let it dry while we did other things.
Once it was dry, we removed the mold & sanded down the sides so it didn't have rough edges.
The favorite part of the volcano was PAINTING it.
While the volcano was drying, we went upstairs to tackle our cleaning project of the day which was the big living room upstairs. Things have gotten out of hand since school got out & we needed to organize, wipe, sweep/mop, & clean the whole room so we could enjoy having friends over again.
All CLEAN.
Craiger made these cute little notes to go with his Sweet Tart Ropes treats.
For our baking project of the day, we made Chocolate Fudge Peanut Butter cupcakes.
The kids each frosted their own (to learn how to use a piping bag). Then we enjoyed eating them.
For Craiger's special dinner we had Mac & Cheese, carrots, & apples. . . his favorite.
FUN FUN FUN for Day #1!
