Sky Ranch camp was awesome this year! I wish I could say it went off without a hitch, but nothing ever does. Since I have been to camp several years in a row, this year I was most facinated with the wildlife (and I don't mean the ones we brought with us from Bluebonnet!). Plus they don't mind if you post their pictures on the internet. So here is some of the fun things I saw. In our Limnology class, we saw this turtle. Last year I got to hold him, but this year he has new partner that he does not like! Needless to say, his area was really stinky and I had no desire to hold him!
Then on our way back to the cabin the first afternoon, I saw this little fellow.
During our game of Clue, I found these wild creatures. Actually they are better known as my fellow teachers and principal. Can you guess which one committed the murder? I heard it was the Chef in the kitchen!
At dinner the first night, we had 2 kids get sick from dehydration and then our principal twisted her ankle. Mrs. Rutter performed our medical duties. Although I don't think we needed the masks. We were looking for a first aid kit, but all we found was the contaminable blood pathogens kit.
At breakfast the next morning, I had to take a picture of this strawberry. I seriously think they were put on steroids!
While the kids were playing during Skrazy time, we were watching the mama bird feed her babies. I don't think she cared too much for us sitting there. She kept flying back to check on her babies before finding another worm.
Our 2nd day is all about walking! Actually it is the Native Americans class & Texas History, but we have to hike a ways into the woods to get to the classes.
At the end of the Native Americans Class, they have a naming ceremony and a friendship face painting. The kids are so quiet. It always amazes me. This year the teachers got their faces painted too! Here were the 4 of us that attended this class together.
On our way back to headquarters, the teachers got distracted and decided to try out part of the challenges course.
We returned home on Wednesday tired, but with lots of great memories. It may be a TON of work, but it is so worth it to see the smiles on the kids' faces.
