Indian Camp Day 3

 During the night last night some of the snares went off and the Indian's could hear lots of commotion but by the time they got to them the snares were empty. Day 2 of the 4 to 12 year olds Indian camp was another very hot day. The campers walked over to the playground even before breakfast arrived. Julie brought a wonderful breakfast of sausage and egg casserole, fruit, donuts and juice boxes. After breakfast they headed back to the meadow to work on their arrows. Today they made sand candles over on Joan's beach, they had face painting, had horse back riding, swimming, hunting, picking mint, digging up sassafras roots for tea, they caught 6 big bull frogs, cleaned the 12 legs for the dinner tonight along with the fish they caught, they picked lambsquarter for their cooked greens tonight, canoe races, and archery contests. Below are a few pictures.

Below is a video of some of the activities:

I had a busy day also, as we had guests coming in for the apartment and the barn needed to be cleaned, then ran to Sam's club to pick up fruit for tomorrow's breakfast along with a few things Taunya needed for tomorrow's lunch. When I got back the Indian's were just getting ready to head out trail riding.  Diane had some guests over and they came to mom's to watch the canoe races.

It was really good to see Mary, Jan, Pam, Myrna and Carol.

Later in the afternoon a storm started building in the West. We could hear the rumble of thunder. I snapped the picture below before I started praying for the storm to go South and it did.

The hay was cut yesterday and the horses are going to need nutritious hay this winter. I was very thankful when the rain passed us by.
