Saturday 10~~~~~It is a very warm day in the park today and we had quite a few sites to clean this morning, a few people left and some of them traded their space for a better or bigger one and new people filled the empty ones. Our class for the children in the park today is decorating the trailer Ranger Dan built that holds all of the telescopes we have for our Friday evening star gazing we have for anyone who wants to attend after dark in the ball field after dark. The trailer also holds the costumes for our 7 foot Big Foot and two smaller ones and all the equipment for the sing along and art classes we hold in the Education Center. We have all new benches with long counter tops to work on. The trailer was painted brown, so we had the kids put their painted hand prints on the trailer, we made pictures of all the different things we have taught and studied with them over the years. One family had a new born baby camping with them and I helped the Mommy put the babies foot print on the wall in PINK!!! All the names look so cute and the kids had a ball. We had one of us hosts help the kids pick their choice of color and pour it on a plate, another host put their hand on the paper plate with their choice of paint and made sure it got plenty of paint on it, another host helped place their hand on the wall and the last host worked at the hand washing station. It really went smooth and the kids had a ball. They wrote their names by their hand print and painted a picture if they wanted to. Of course we hosts Pat, Khrystal, Dan, Shirley and myself had to paint a picture and write our names on it too. We will add more names later on when we have another class, it is too late in the summer for the park to have very many children camping here now. We finished up with just enough time to rest a minute before heading to Saturday night Mass, we have a new priest here and we really like him. After Mass, we bought broasted chicken at the market and took it home for dinner. Yum Yum!!!!!
