Being Creative with Food!

 

I am always looking for fun things to do with my kids especially in the summer. I came across something kind of similar to this art project, but I tweeked it. I got all kinds of food items and had the kids be creative and make a picture with their food. We had skittles, licorice, pretzels, marshmellows, noodles, chocolate chips, and a lot more. Then we used a lot of hot glue and glitter and Ta-Da- masterpieces!! It was fun and fun letting the kids eat and be creative!!

Summer Camping 2011

 

I love camping, but I have come to realize that with kids one, two days tops is just right for me!! We have not taken ali since she was little, and it was Cams first camp out. Ali was a little hesitant because she REALLY does not like bugs, and Cam was so excited as usuall. Fro had to work till late friday so he didn't get there till about 9, and was a trooper because he had to leave again by 6 in the morning. His camping was short lived, but he came for the support. We had a good time sitting around the fire. Celebrating REed and Jamisons birthday with a pinata. We ate homemade smores on a stick my neighbor taught me to make (they were good and not messy!) and we played in the tents all night. It was fun to have no agenda and no where to be but with family. Ali had moments when she wanted to go home, but then loved every minute of it.
We went on a little hike in the morning and the kids loved hiking. The water was so high we were nervous the whole time with all the little kids, but it was not a problem and we were very grateful. Ali is already planning the next campout!!
