Girls Stay Camp--day 3

For breakfast today we took a walk at a local park with nature trails--and called it a hike--because that sounds more camp-ish. And all good camps have hikes...right? :)

We packed a breakfast of donuts and milk and enjoyed the cooler weather. (I'm so glad the humidity has come down.)

I also enjoyed chatting with my girls--and Liam too.
Cailin's favorite books are the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. She told that this nature park is just how she invisioned the setting of these books are to her....and then she proceeded to tell me all about the book she's reading right now.

As we walked we gathered different wild flowers to make bookmarks with. Liam had fun gathering the wild blackberries and smearing them all over his hands.... he's such a boy.

Once we got home after a few extra stops, (Cailin's flute lessons and trip to Walmart) we

put together our bookmarks.

Biranne wasn't feeling well this afternoon (she was very cranky and just wanted to be held), so this was the only craft that we got to make today.
I really wanted to make our friendship bracelets--to go along with the book we are reading together (My Last Best Friend by Julie Bowe), but that will have to wait till Friday because....

tomorrow is water day. For the rest of the afternoon we watched a movie from Netflix--'Jack and the Beanstalk' and then the girls cleaned out all the june bugs from our pool. They are really looking forward to their friends coming over to have some fun.
Oh, my sweet little one, we just sat outside and rocked in the swing watching them work.
Between the thrush making her mouth feel awful and the rash she got due to shots yesterday--she was often batting/scratching at her face-- She was one miserable little girl.

But not this one....he's a mischievious little imp! However, he's a cute one, that's for sure.

Playing with Brianne....and trying to make her feel better.

Delaney has been patiently....okay, not so patiently, but she has been waiting for the night we could roast hot dogs. Dinner was very late beacause I was tied up with Brianne.

I started the charcoal late and they didn't have enought time to get hot...so at 8pm after attempting to roast them over the fire they choose to finish the cooking of their hotdogs in the microwave.

(Thank goodness, Barry was there to help--he came home to deal with some work stuff--or else we may never had dinner tonight)

The marshmallows had a better chance as the coals were finally ready

Mmmmmm, ooey, gooey goodness. I love roasted marshmallow!! says Cailin

The perfect camp treat....can I have s'more, please?
