family day camp - ocean day

Oh my goodness did we have fun today. I stole my friend, Kristi's idea to have a "_____ (insert last name here) Family Day Camp". Why haven't I thought of this sooner? H, H and I sat down the other day and planned for 3 days of themed activities. Today? Ocean Day! We made recycled water bottle fish puppets.
And Sculpey clay magnets.




We ate sand (Vanilla pudding, whipped cream and crushed graham crackers).

Henry came up with the idea to make aquariums. He has such cool ideas.



We went on a scavenger hunt, which eventually led us here....




....and then to Sonic for an Ocean Water.
It was such a nice day, and a good way to start thinking about the routine of our school days. As we said our prayer before dinner tonight, Havalah prayed, thanking God for me(!!) and for such a nice day, full of activities and fun. That totally made my day.
Tomorrow: Cowboy Day!

Your kids made such cute crafts. I love the water bottle fish and I think that I would be very happy to eat some of that sand and even drink the ocean water. Fun ideas!
