What a fun night this was, Kip really had some neat activities for the kids. Each of them anticipated the next one while I anxiously waited to see the fun unfold!
The campout was pretty much a success. Our kids finally zonked out as they are used to camping. I figured it would be warmer in the backyard than it was in the mountains but it cooled down pretty quick here as well.
As you view the slide show here is what you might be seeing; Each of these tasks were clues to find the graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate for our smores!
1) Drive your trucks around the path 2 times and bring me something that rhymes with brass.
2) Each of you name one of the ten commandments.
3) Grab the gun and shoot a few varmints (at least one in the head… make sure the critter is dead).
4) Get a little shovel from the deck.
5) Look for something leafy, with polka dots that rhymes with knee
6) Dig a hole 4 feet away by a watering thing that’s the color of pee
1) Drive your trucks around the path and stop where you dug before.
2) Take a bucket and fill it up with the rocks and dump them on the other side of the path. Come back.
3) Each of you name two states.
4) Go to a place where you would go if it started raining (other than the house or tent).
5) When you get there, climb in…
6) Even though you may be kneeling… take a look up at the ceiling.
1) It will be getting dark so let’s put away the grilling tools, each person help.
2) And maybe by helping you find something that will help the night be a little brighter.
3) Tell the person on your right your favorite thing about them.
4) Tell the person on your left your favorite thing about them.
5) Tell me why the sky is blue!
6) When the wind blows, one our of trees ‘sings’ louder than the others. Why?
7) Go to that tree and make it ring… Look up.
