Centri-Kid Camp - June 2009

Better late than never I say. So flip the calendar back to June 2009 and let's pretend we just returned from camp. Katie and Ashlie both took their friends - Harmony and Grace. And I was able to go this year - Katie's last year and Ashlie's first year! The pictures tell the story ~

An extra special part of Centri-Kid camp for me ... was a visit from my college roommate and her daughters.

Picking up sticks ~ turns into playing in puddles!

Katie stayed home from school with allergies and ear infection - and after visiting the doctor is feeling well enough to help Sydney with a little project. Sydney and I were planning to go to pick up sticks (so Katie joined us). Sydney always wants to pick up sticks every time we go to church and we won't let her (trying to keep her clean). Well today was her day to pick up some sticks - and she did pick up a few. But quickly she found mud and I (being the older and wiser of the two of us) sent her to the "clean" puddle to get the mud off her shoes. And the pictures tell the rest of the story!

Can you really tell the difference?

Last night the 5th and 6th grade girls participated in an m&m taste test ~ can you really tell the difference between the colors? Well, after our test - I think that some can and most can't. And the moral of this story was ~ it's what's inside that's so good - CHOCOLATE! And when using this to make a biblical comparison - we need to remember that God made us all and he made us all different - and we need to make sure we don't judge others by what we see on the outside. We need to get to know people on the inside.

And about the history of the blue m&m? Over 10 million people voted to add blue to the color mix in 1995! And if you really want to learn more about the history of the m&m - go here.
