Saturday 13~~~~~Today at the education center, I helped Khrystyl with the children's program that we have for the children in the park every Saturday. Today's class was teaching them how to make their own journal and what to put in a daily journal. Each child was given a spiral note book and we had lots of pictures we had removed from magazines of animals, flowers sporting things, famous places and a lot more of just anything. The kids trimmed the pictures and they glued them with glue sticks all over the covers of their note books. Some of them really made fantastic journals with their creative minds. Khrystyl showed them her daily journal and explained the different types of journals they could make. I brought home two notebooks and a lot of clippings so we can make journals when Bodie and Blaize come up here on vacation next week. I have been gathering rock of all sizes in the park for the rock painting class I will be teaching next Saturday. All the rocks have to be washed, so I have been busy with that job also. LOL I have enjoyed painting some of them to have some for the kids to look at. I painted a flower rock for Kaly the Ranger from Iowa who is leaving to go home next week. It was my best rock I have painted and I really didn't want to give it up. My sister and brother were so good at art and I never colored as a child, so this has been a whole new challenge for me to accomplish. I think Jan would be proud of my artwork!!!!
