Land Lab Adventure – Overnight edition (pictures will be posted on Saturday)

The overnight went quite well. Thursday afternoon, the kids helped set up all of the tents and played a lot of Capture the Flag. The tents looked great, and the kids had a HUGE dinner. They were probably hungry because between lunch at 11:30 and dinner around 6:00, they had a very active time. All the dinner food disappeared in moments as the children ate their fill. At about 8:15, they started a kickball game which was lots of fun, but as the light started to disappear we headed to our fire pit for s’mores.

After we all made s’mores, Judy took us out for a night walk in the field. The fireflies sparkled across the field like dew at sunrise; it was indescribable. We then split up and while most kids went back to the campfire, Allie and I took a few kids by a different route through the dark woods – it was challenging, but in a fun way. We all met back at the campfire and most kids changed and got ready for bed, although a few kids sat around the fire and talked about their summer plans. We all got to bed around 11:00 and didn’t wake up until 6:30.
