History Buff!

So you may remember my mention of MaryJane attending History Camp this week. I am here to report that she absolutely loved it and is an official history buff. hehe. Following is a little day to day breakdown ive put together of what she made and had to say.

Day 1 - Spoke to the gurl shortly after she got out of camp via tha telephone. Her first thing was "I remember one thing we did" (which was bologna cause she remembered a lot more then that...haha) She said they played Red Rover, asked me if I knew how to play, and broke it down for me. Merely a time filler till pick-up, but thoroughly enjoyed by my daughter. She said she made a picture frame, a camera and a phone. She's so funny too...she was like ask me about anything you want to know...so I asked about the camera; she told me how to make it and how to make a telephone (which turned out to be the good ole 2 cans and a string phone...sweet!). She said they had the best snack...Ice Cream and when I asked her if Katie (her friend from Treehouse was there) she said she was and that that was the best part...awwww. Shortly after tall of this she discovered she had gotten new clothes, shoes and a little radio from her mother so I was told "well, I better go now. I have some rock-n-roll to do". Rock out MaryJane!

Day 2 - Today I was surprised with the Knowledge I got to pick her up. Yea. When I got there I got the usual, and always enjoyed, "DADDY"! She grabbed her stuff, we admired the very well put together doll house eat the front of the museum and then jetted. Again I was told about the wondrous Red Rover. She said that they made peanut butter and had cookies for there snack. She showed me her crafts for the day that included a straw that shot little balls out of it (not sure what exactly the point of it is) and a button on a piece of string (again, not sure what the point is), but when I asked her about it she said it was a "magic trick" so maybe that explains me not understanding it. She said they learned about War too. And as if she hadn't had enough museum already we played museum and even art museum that night. It was obvious from day one and every day after that she was totally loving the camp.

Day 3 - Didn't talk to my gurl this night, but got a little info the next morning. I know she had a great time, but all she had to say really was "The bad part was we had to walk a lot" and she said she was sleepy. They walked to a near bye cemetery where she said she checked off things in a notebook. very interesting.

Day 4 - Again I was happy to be picking up M.J. up this day. They were outside when I get there...doing what imp not sure, but she was certainly dirty and hot. She had 3 things we picked up and it all went along with the things she said they did. She said they learned about bugs (a cool spider picture frame), bones (a page with bones she collected and glued to it), and birds (a gourd bird house she painted). And again this night (and Friday morning) we played history museum. What a history nut. hehe.

Day 5 - She couldn't believe it was the last day. She had told me she thought she was going for a month (and she sure would have it she could). When I got there to pic her up Katie's mom had them in front of some scarecrows they had made and was taking pictures....Wait!....I ran as fast as I could and was able to grab that super cute super shot! She had some potatoes they she dug up and asked me if we could make them when we got home. we didnt, but she's been having fun peeling the skin off. she said they had ice cream again. sweet. and then it was "I want to play Red Rover when we get home" haha. next time we get a group of kids outside it happening and she will certainly be the experienced champ. : ) Latter she elaborated on the horse shoe a little more saying it was her lucky horseshoe. She said "today was a special day cause I got to ride a horse". how awesome it that.

So as you can she absolutely luved the camp. So glad she went. She had asked me if we could make some food for her teacher when I was putting her to bed Thursday night. It was to late of course, but very sweet of her. I told her today we could get a thank you card and send it to her.
