Camp Weekend Continued

More pictures from our long holiday weekend at camp.  Lots of exploring, bug searching, fire pit building and treasure hunting on the lake.

My nature girls...exploring our yard and woods!

 Two readers at camp! I can't even handle the cuteness.  We also loaded up on new workbooks for the summer.  Both girls have loved doing worksheets in the morning after our hike! I plan to let them both journal again this summer too.  It is always fun comparing their handwriting and storytelling from summer to summer.

 We spent the weekend looking for wood treasures for Sydney's family birthday party in a few weeks.  Couldn't believe how much white birch bark we found! Perfect for her party!

This is my favorite piece of wood.  Probably the prettiest and biggest piece of birch we have ever found.

Finishing up their work on the new fire pit.  The morning that we were leaving, a local craftsman dropped off 4 Adirondack chairs.  We will surround the fire pit with those comfy seats! We found perfect rocks for the girls to sit on while they toast their marshmallows.

 Enjoying our first fire in the new fire pit.  I envision lots of evenings spent here making s'mores with them.  Thankfully, I'm not a big fan of s'mores, so I won't be too tempted!

A completely out of focus picture of Mia jumping off the dock.  I was trying to throw the stick and take the picture at the same time.  Didn't work out well, but at least I captured our fly dog! She didn't even hesitate the first time this season, just flew right off of the dock!

 Searching for creatures in the woods. With their favorite bug collection kit!

 Lake glass hunting.

We spend every morning at the bay looking for lake glass.  We found a ton this weekend.  Usually by the end of the summer, we have several ziplock bags full of it!

I am so excited for this season at camp.  The girls are beyond excited too.
