It was a bit rainy for Pond Day, but we all had a great time anyway! We began the morning with an hour of work on projects in progress. While some kids worked on the shelter -- which has a roof now and is shaping up nicely -- other kids finished up their boats in the woodshop or worked on the porch with Allie doing tie dye.

At 10:00, we gathered in the barn to hear about safety rules for Pond Day. Lifeguard Julie Sherbeck joined us for the day, and we all headed to the pond with towels and boats. After plenty of time floating our boats, swimming in the pond, and taking canoe rides, we all gathered around the fire to make Stone Soup. The tent provided some nice shelter from the rain, but mostly, we were just happy to sit around the campfire and sing songs.

See you tomorrow.
