Girl Scout Camp

We sent the girls to their first overnight camp at the Girl Scouts Molly Lauman camp. This camp was about 2 hours away and they had a fabulous time. It was a 3 day 2 night camp (and they went alone!) and did really well. Some things they got to experience were: non-flushing toilets (Jenna said she does not like latrines), lots of crafts, slingshots, swimming, camp food, sleeping outdoors and watching a movie (the Lorax), sleeping in a cabin, and camp life. Jenna and Sarah also went with a set of sisters: Kate and Jill. We went camping with them last month. 

 While Jenna and Sarah went to Girl Scout camp, Matthew went to a day camp through the highbanks Metropark. 

We also recently finished the Letterbox adventure with the Delaware County Preservation Parks. One of our favorite parks was Shale Hollow Preserve. It is smaller and practically no one is there (really it's empty at most of these parks) and we could walk on the water and all around the trails through the woods.

This week the girls went to VBS at Linworth United Methodist Church. They have an excellent VBS with 250 kids in the elementary school session. The theme was Weird Animals this year.

Books I'm reading/read:

1. Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson. I loved the twists and turns in this book and I couldn't stop reading it. 
2. City of Fiends by Michael Jecks. This is our book club book. It is ok. Joel described it as "neat". I'm about halfway through but am not really into the book yet.
3. 7 by Jen Hatmaker. I just started this book and it is AMAZING. It is one of those books that will change your life. 
4. The Black Prism by Brent Weeks. I've heard so much good about this author I'm excited about this book. 
5. The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollen. This books just makes you want to only buy food at farmers markets. It's good and somewhat scary.
