Today at camp we had a guest speaker come and take us on a trail where we could do some quality birdwatching. It was beautiful to listen to the bird calls and songs. And the kids were all about identifying the birds and looking at them through their binoculars. It was a rad new way to experience nature with the kids. Tweetalicious.
Other activities for the day included: 1) talking to the kids about how to know when you should recycle something, put it in a compost pile, or throw it away and 2) using large nets to catch insects (at this point of the day some of the campers decided it would be kind to catch a bee in their net and then, without releasing the bee, use the same net to catch their friend). Nobody got hurt, and lesson learned, we should say at the beginning of the activity that using the net to catch people is not allowed. Especially if there is already something occupying the net. What were we thinking not clarifying that? =)
It was another fun day with the kids and I got to do a bit of farming in the morning before they got there. Getting to plant and getting to help with camp, all before 12:30, is a great great start to the day!
Oh and p.s. Kay and I made another delicious dinner featuring farm veggies. I never knew how to make kale before, but it's so tasty raw in a salad and steamed with some garlic and soy sauce. Thumbs up!
