Blending popsicles 

Today we returned to our love of cooking by making popsicles. First, we had to blend together our frozen fruit, greek yogurt, and orange juice. Everyone helped with measuring out the ingredients and dumping them into the blender. Then, each child who wanted a turn got a chance to push the "pulse" button on the blender! Finally, we poured our smoothie mixture into popsicle molds and popped them in the freezer. We'll get to enjoy our creation tomorrow, but we had a little taste of smoothie at snack today!

Climbing high

Climbing was a popular activity in the outdoor classroom this morning! Whit, Connor, Ragnar, Virginia, Ellie, Soren, and Zara all crossed a balance beam and climbed up a "ladder" to reach the top of the tunnel. Whit and Ragnar even climbed to the top of the climbing net!

"I'm being brave." - Virginia

"Are we gonna have this here forever?" - Ragnar

We'll see you tomorrow for our last day of camp!
