This past weekend the boys had their first campout as Boy Scouts. The were pretty excited to go and to get all of the things you need to camp. They went to Nat Soo Pah, so not far away but they had a good time. Apparently the tent they were given was an inflatable one and deflated a little in the night. Cam woke up with tent on his face. It made them a little more excited for Camp Bradley in a few weeks.
This week we made floam for a project. It eventually worked out, but took a while and is still a little mess. I got these foam balls to do something at Christmas time but forgot I had them and never did that project, so we used them in this. Floam is just slime with Styrofoam in it. You see all the balls? Those still fall out when they play with it. I think we put too much in during the mixing phase. I thought it would make it less sticky but it didn't.
Out of all of the kids, Camden and Beckham played with it the most.
Today we made book marks. One goal this summer is to teach the kids how to do a few new skills and one of those is to hand sew. They had to sew on a button and sew the elastic on also. They aren't perfect but the kids had fun with them and liked how they turned out. Camden's book shows you what it supposed to look like.
