Today was Pond Day! We spent almost all day at the pond; whether boating or swimming, we were there. It was a great day. We started the day reading the story of Stone Soup to learn about our lunch activity. Then we went straight out to the pond and while some of the kids tested their boats, others jumped right in (literally).
The water was a little cold, but it was still very enjoyable. Several kids made it out to the floating dock while others enjoyed a canoe ride with Allie or me. Later, some of the kids who didn’t want to swim out to the dock were ferried out by our great life guard, Glen. During lunch, the kids ate the food they brought for lunch while Judy prepared “Stone Soup” over the campfire.
During quiet time many of the kids laid out in the sun on their towels and dried off. Near the end of quiet time, the soup was ready, and bowls were passed around. The soup was great and many of the kids wanted seconds; luckily there was enough for all to eat their fill. While we were eating, we heard some thunder, and Glen made us wait about an hour before we could go swimming again. With the thunder came some rain, but as the thunder left the rain persisted. We split up into two groups, and while some children dried off, changed clothes and went to the porch to do arts and crafts, others stayed and went swimming in the rain.
It was another great day!
