We were up at Kim’s house and drove up in time to milk
goats. Jocie the kid milked Joc the
Goat. Yes, the goat is named after
her. 
Then on to the flag ceremony- they
had to put up a temporary flag pole for camp.
Then the singing. On down to the woods to get some walking sticks.
My brother was in charge of finding these,
and came across a whole bunch that he cut.
Back up to the house to sit in the yard and whittle. Everyone got matched up with the right size stick to whittle. And go over the rules-- the blood circle.
The kids LOVED being turned loose with the
knives and whittling. They were very
safe with their blood circle—you can’t get within their arm reach when they
have a knife. Even with a 1 year old
toddling thru, they were very safe. They
wanted to whittle the whole morning, so we got way behind.
We had lunch with the lunch committee cooking hamburgers,
pork and beans, and green beans on the buddy burners. They produce quite the fire!
The hamburgers were declared ‘better than
daddy’s on the grill’. I can’t believe that I let my children cook on these
with not much supervision when they were younger. There was a lot of flame, and putting them
out wasn’t easy. We were going to cook
pie crust sprinkled with cinnamon sugar on the buddy burners for snack, but ran
out of time. We cooked it in the oven.
We then went down to collect water samples to filter.
Pond, stream and spring. We looked in microscopes to see which was
cleanest and then made water filters out of 2 liter bottles.
After filtering the water with the filters that we made out of a 2 litre bottle, rocks, sand activated charcoal and a coffee filter, then using
chlorine bleach to purify the water, some of the kids drank it. They are all alive and well.
We painted our picture frames, and ran out of time for the
Dream Catchers, God’s Eyes and pony beads. We were also going to make some kind
of bee house.
I don’t even know if we took down the flag. We're supposed to be looking tough...
