Boot Camp week 5....a lot

yes i am alive, i just don't have time to do a blog post EVERY day :P Here is what has happened these past weeks. First off we got a tour of Brick Town! I loved it. I love doing that kind of stuff :D The Mountie's Love got hold of my camera, so we are lucky to have pictures of it. Here they are

Gangster.

Once i get a facebook, this shall be my profile picture :)

Benji had fun torturing the ducks..

We FINALLY finished this heart that the Mountie's Love made!! We have been learning about love, and she had us make each piece something about love. It took us forever and 10 days :P But we finally finished it and we are proud! Here is before and after:

Here are the pieces i did :D

We also went to the wonderful Mustache Bash, celebrating the grand opening of Shop Good! What an exciting night! I got to hold Thai Guy's baby all night!! All proceeds go to the Spero Project. Here are some pictures taken at the Mustache Bash, not taken by me sadly, i found out that i can't take picture, while holding a baby...

Me (i don't quite like this one of me) Benji, Laura (what's with the face?) Kate, Jael, and Josiah

Same...Minus Laura

This dude won BEST mustache, and he totally deserved it.

Minus the hot weather it was great :) They had different bands playing all night. Cool air conditioned store. It was amazing! Then we had a retreat up at HGM (Heart of God ministries). I didn't want to go around lugging my HUGE bag, just so i can have my camera with me, so i bought this beautiful bag for $10! It is just the right size for my camera :D Part of the retreat for the kiddos was going to the museum! I think i was most excited!! So all 14 of us packed into the 15 passenger van, to head to the museum...45 minutes away, and 8 of us were 9 and under...quite fun...not really. So after the oh-so-long drive, we arrived. All of the kids began screaming with utter joy (I was one of them....) The whole way there we could hear Annie in the background saying "I have to go to the bathroom" so that was the first exhibit we stopped at. The bathroom. But what caught mine and Jael's eye was the Chocolate exhibit!!!!! What museum has a CHOCOLATE exhibit?! But of course we didn't go to that one first, we went to the....URG i just blanked on the name!! Well here are pictures of the exhibit :) The room was dark so i couldn't get a lot of good pictures...i only got..2.


Well i didn't get a lot of pictures of the exhibits cause they all weren't the brightest....sorry. Now at last i heard these wonderful words "Time for the chocolate exhibit" and all of the kids screamed. Well let's just be honest, all of us did :)

They had these seats, that looked like Reeses cups...I thought that was pretty nifty :D
And now the fossil room...i have a lot of pictures of this one!

Little bitty dinosaur

OK now this was the best part of it all =) They had this HUGE life size model thingy of a mammoth! And its foot was up for NO reason, until today =D Well....you'll see!

Yup so that's pretty much it..so there..I'll try to update more, but it has been crazy here, so yuppers =)
