Lake Ann Camp- Pyramid Point

Pyramid Point- Do you see me in the orange shirt near the back?

Pyramid Point is a sand dune near Lake Ann Camp.  We followed the path up to the sand dunes.  Then once you get to the top, there is a dune of sand you can run down.  I don’t know how many times I did it because I would run up and down the sand dune.  It was fun!

Then we walked a little bit more.  From the top you could see water.  I think they said it was a mile down.  We saw a bunch of islands. One side was woods and the other side we saw a lot of milkweed (I wanted to go collecting 😉 ) and then trees. Then the other side had more sand dunes.

We had chapel on the top of the hill. We were talking about when words can hurt.  We need to be careful what we say, because one word can hurt somebody a lot.  We sang  Oh Happy Day, Romans 16:19 and other fun songs.

Once chapel was over, we stood on the opposite side in a line and sang “Our God is so Big!”  It echoed! It was pretty cool. Then we got to run down that side of the hill one at a time.  It was such a narrow path with trees on the sides.  On the way to the bus, we got to see the sun set.

Thank you Lake Ann Camp for permission to use these pictures on my blog!

New Butterflies

Two days ago my first Monarch emerged! It was a girl. Yesterday, I let it go. She hung around for about 5 hours then flew off!

Today, My first eastern black swallowtail emerged! It was a boy. I will let him go soon.

Meganbutterfly Megan wanted me to put the butterfly on her nose. It started tickling. Megan went crossed eyed watching it. Then she wanted it off.

 

Duck!

DuckWe were going to the park to get some water and food for our tadpoles. We decided to look at the bluebird nests.  Our friend who works at the park has taught us how to check the nests and said we could if we are discreet about it.

Today while we were checking one of the nests, the bluebird kept coming and flying straight towards me.  Mark said that we were playing chicken!  The bird won because I did not want him to whack me and get knocked silly.  (The bird or me!)

Tree climbing

Audrey upFriday, we volunteered to help at a Labor Day Celebration. I helped face paint while Momma and Daddy worked at the welcome table.

I got up a tree with a rope and pulley.  Then he asked if I wanted to come down fast or slow.  Give a guess what I said 🙂

I asked to go down slow so I could be up there longer. He said he would go down super super slowly for me.  But it still only took ten seconds.
