Summer Camps

This summer's camp adventures included Pirate Camp and Fairy Camp. Since I didn't have very many boys enroll, Emily & Ella got to join the boys!! They had the time of their lives and the boys didn't care one bit. Once I accidentally called them girls and Ella got upset because, "Now they know we're girls!"
Captain Jack (AKA Steve) was a good sport again this year and taught the kids proper sword technique. Don't get me wrong, Steve secretly LOVES doing this! He's an actor at heart! The kids loved him and loved practicing their newly learned fighting techniques with their balloon swords on him!
Huntin' for booty!

Now for fairy camp, I filled up a morning AND an afternoon session, so I was a tired Fairy Godmother everyday (you know she must be several hundred years old now...) Here's the girls after they helped the flower fairies and made their own flower clips.
Dancing with the flower balloons they put together for the flower fairies.
Learning some fairy dance steps.
We dipped pretzel "wands" into the chocolate fountain one day. I was smart enough to do it outside and smart enough to make the kids wear smocks, but I will STILL never do this again!
Tinkerbelle came!! She read us the story of the magic moon scepter and gave each girl a glow bracelet.
Emily found her own baby animal to take care of. Each girl colored magical charms each day after helping the fairies that would magically shrink to fairy size each night. On the last day they made them into a charm necklace for their new baby animal they were going to help the fairies take care of. They all LOVED this. The bears even had their own wings and wand!

(Yes, my girls are lucky because even though the age limit is 3-5, I'll let them attend for as long as they think it's fun!)
