Where's the sun?

Today started with several craft projects! Tie-dye shirts, decorating backpacks, and friendship bracelets. Holy puffy paint - we were busy! We also spent a lot of time playing and watching Baby Charlotte. She is pretty entertaining! :)

While we waited for the sun to come out we went to town to walk around and do a little shopping. The girls and I love the book store; we never walk out empty handed! Of course, we can say the same thing about the candy store!

While we were in town Suzann arrived! Yea! All the little girls were soooo excited. She was on dinner duty, and hobo stew was on the menu. We put together all of our dinners, and put them in the fire on the beach. All the "big girls" had been outdoor school directors or counselors at one point in our lives, so we're all "expert" campfire cookers. :)

While the dinners were cooking, Midge and Kelly helped the girls make sand candles. (Another Outdoor School tradition!) They turned out great!

After dinner, we had our usual evening of campfire songs. The sun never fully made an appearance, so it was a chilly night. It didn't stop us... we snuggled in close and got all bundled up in blankets and coats. Charlotte tried to stay up to enjoy it all, but had a hard time keeping her eyes open.
