Winter Camp 2012

Summer Camp was so much fun, we decided to have a one-day winter camp while the kids were out of school this week.  Stephanie led the activities, with a "Silver Bells" theme to fit with the theme for the town of Seward's holiday events this year.  That's in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Seward Christmas ornament, which is designed by a Sewardian every year (I may have made up that word, but I like it.) and crafted in pewter in a limited edition of 200.  I have one for nearly every year we've lived in Seward.

So, our Winter Camp activities centered around Silver Bells today.  The kids made bells, ate bell-shaped candies and decorated bell-shaped sugar cookies, and read a story about an old lady who swallowed a bell--and many other unusual items as well.

Thanks to all the families whose children participate in our camps.  We love getting to know your children and appreciate the opportunity to do so.  Here are a few photos from today's activities.  There aren't a lot of smiles--I think everyone was concentrating too hard when I took the photos to smile.  But, it seemed that everyone had fun!

Also, thanks to Molly and Cara for providing extra hands to help with today's activities.  We appreciate your help!
