Grandma Day Camp 2017 Day 2

Day 2

Lydia found out that Malorie got to glue her shapes down to a piece of wood for a lovely object d'art!  A lot of glue was used in this endeavor...

Flag  And no pics!  We need a photographer!

A lot of fun at daycamp is jumping in the mules and the kids getting to drive.

This year the Mountain Man Day included archery, knife throwing, ax throwing, and sling shots.

We go over safety again. Especially with archery and sling shots being new.  And it must have worked because no one got injured.

 Finally it's time to do!  Each team tried all the events.  They have 15 min I think for each to try the thing out.  There are 4 on each team, and I was in charge of the knives, so you throw 5 knives, then go find them, and the next kid goes…  We were hampered by dogs running onto the course and at least twice taking a knife.

 We split the teams to be even for the older kids, and then we have a team of a 2 year old, two 4 year olds and a 8 year old. Each team tried all the events.  They have 15 min I think for each to try the thing out.  There are 4 on each team, and I was in charge of the knives, so you throw 5 knives, then go find them, and the next kid goes…  We were hampered by dogs running onto the course and at least twice taking a knife.      Addie got the only bulls-eye during the practice.

  And a camp counselor... "Hi, My name is Kate and I'll teach you how to shoot ...b.b.s and slingshot."  The thing about the bad pics, is it's fun to see where the action is-- the knives in the air.

Lunch & Fire

We had hot dogs, chips, veggies, and I left the s’mores stuff at home…  As the kids get older they need more to eat—the number of hot dogs inhaled was amazing. 

Team Runs:  The teams, all but the little kids team, figure out who does what event for the team run. It is a timed event, one team out at a time, and each person does one event. So if you were good at archery, you did it for the team.   Then, of course the adults had to run against the kids…Their time beat the kids. They were saved by Krista getting a bulls-eye... Well, she did take an archery class in college.

Individual Runs:  Anyone who wanted, ran the individual race, timed only one on the course at a time.  The other kids went swimming.  We start the races from youngest to oldest.  Kallie won.
