We had a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day today. How can it get better? Gentle weather which allows us to be outside without roasting, so much fun in the sand, sharing day, learning more "camp" songs and the coup de grace...homemade ice cream!
Our friends here took turns measuring, pouring, mixing, adding ice to the bucket and the salt to make it melt...discussing all the ingredients including eggs, sugar, milk, heavy cream, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Then let it churn, churn, churn for a long 45 minutes. I asked the children if they thought it we could do this everyday, one child said "No, this is too much work". I agree, but it is worth the wait and effort!
Yesterday, we went on a pretend hike: around the desert (our sand box), climbing up the mountain to cross the river and into the cave, then down the waterslides(our climbing structure) to our cool place to have our hiker's snack! It was a blast. I was the trail guide and was begged by our friends to do the hike again today! Yippee! A real hit!
Make a memory this weekend!
