Happy Campers...

We just wrapped up July's camping theme.  Here are a few things that we did starting with my favorite activity.  I love the activities where I get to learn something too.  We did a science experiment with pinecones and I did not know that when a pinecone is soaked in water it will close up.



The pinecones before getting dumped in water 

After being soaked for about an hour



Back to normal after drying overnight

 We also used pinecones to make birdfeeders...





The kids are waiting for birds to come and eat the bird seed.  The cutest part was hearing them yelling, "Biiirrddiiieee!  Come and eat!"



with our backpacks full of our supplies we set out in search of the perfect place to camp

singing campfire songs

Our completed game of dominos
