Last Nana Camp for 2009

At our fifth (& last) Nana Camp for 2009, we went on

a couple of hunts. First the kids glued photos of wildflowers

in a little book & we went on a nature hunt to find those flowers.

They got to put a sticker on their page when they found the flower.

We looked for Queen Anne's Lace, chickory, wild bergemont,

milkweed, daisies & knapweed. They all grow quite close

to each other just down the path to the back so we didn't have to

go far. Then I had made some "treasure boxes" (I knew

there was a good reason for my Chai Latte addiction)&

hid them around the yard. I took pictures of different places

around the yard & the children had clues in envelopes that directed them

around until they found their "treasure"-which

was mostly candy & a few small trinkets. They seemed

to enjoy the hunt & even shared their candy with their moms.The Treasure boxes

Hayden found his too!

It's hard to believe the summer is almost over. Next year, they'll

be even more kids at Nana Camp! I guess I have the winter to think

about how to organize that! It was a little crazy at times, but fun! Hopefully

the kids will have good memories of Nana Camp.
