Mini Camp Christi

One of my students in my last year of teaching spent a week each summer with their aunt in Nashville. They called this week, Camp Whatever her Aunt's Name Is. They did wonderful things together such as make t-shirts with the Camp's name on them, go to concerts, etc. This student has a sister and the sister did not go to "Camp" together. They each got their own week. The girl in my room looked forward to going each year and talked about the fun things they did together frequently.

I thought this was a wonderful idea and we started Camp Christi with Gracie last summer. We did all kinds of fun things--- McWane, the Zoo, parks, crafts, cooking, etc. This week was Gracie's Spring Break so we had a "Mini-Camp" so that Gracie could go to the beach with Lesa's family at the end of the week. We will do the real Camp Christi this summer. I LOVE having Gracie here with us-- we get her all to ourselves!!! Laura will start coming when she completes her Kindergarten year- that is if she wants to come. She doesn't have any interest yet!

1. We made a fancy bejeweled mirror.






2. Gracie made us some divine multi-colored french vanilla pudding.








3. She also baked us a fabulous chocolate cake with buttercream icing.


4. She created and we framed a "self-portrait" that was meant to be for Lesa but must hang in Gracie's room.



5. The most favorite thing this little momma did was this....




.... PLAY, PLAY, PLAY with Audrey!!

We can't wait until the real Camp Christi this summer!!!
