Day 12 Photo Challenge: Up Close

Today was a bittersweet day.  The last day of Day Camp.  I am officially on vacation and thrilled to have my biggest program of the year.  For the next 4 months I can put Summer Camp out of my mind.  You would think that after 7 years it would be getting easier.  In some ways it is, I know what to do, have routines, trips, snacks, etc. planned and set from year to year.  But staffing, issues with kids, paperwork, Licensing stuff, etc. always provides interesting and new challenges.  One thing is for sure, I'll never be bored doing this job!

My picture from today is of one of my kids with my artwork on thier face.  We did face paint during out end of the summer 'party' and I took pictures of most of the kids.  I zoomed in a lot on this one, specifically for this challenge.  I'm not an artist by any stretch of the imagination, but its not half bad.  Enjoy!

COSI

Today was field trip day.  Our big field trip was to COSI today and the kids had a blast.  I had fun, but am now miserable and in pain.  Oh well, my kids are worth it.  Well, here are my photos.  Most of them are blurry faces and back shots of the kids.  I have better pics but I don't want to have clear pictures of my kids on the internet.  The drive to Columbus is rough, but worth it in the end.  Anyhow, enjoy!!

Looking in the aquariums at snakes, crayfish, frogs, fish, etc.  Too cool.

The mechanical dinosaur bones.  The kids could move a pulley to move the head and tail.

The older girls playing a game.  They were crazy people.

Two groups of kids watching the pendulum.  They were enthralled.  (My kids/staff are the ones in the bright tye dyed shirts.)

Making TV.  It was so cool, there was a green screen and the kids were doing all sorts of things. 

One of the kids on the high wire unicycle.  I hated this.  It was high and just looked scarey.  Its perfectly safe, but ugh.  I was terrified the entire time my kids were riding this.  They all did fine but, Miss April's heart was racing and my stomach was flipping.
