Jr. Park Ranger Camp

 Isaiah had the best time at Jr. Park Ranger Camp last week. It was held at Janes Island State Park and he and Lydia were camp buddies. Every day when I picked them up they had lots of stories to tell. 

The first day they caught crabs and made a bee house with a can and bamboo sticks. Isaiah was very excited to catch a crab and the bee house was hung on a tree today.

The second day they took a boat ride out to Janes Island. They did seine netting, beach cleanup and got to do some swimming. When they got back, they made pizza pockets over a fire. 

The last day they learned about different careers as a park ranger and did some water testing. And then the parents were invited for the Jr. Park Ranger ceremony. They took an oath to take care of the environment.

And they each received a certificate and a pin.

Isaiah was very excited to get a certificate. (I guess he had never gotten one before!)

Cousins make the best friends and I'm so glad he and Lydia could do this together and have so much fun.

 

Appropriately, they went fishing with Grandad, Jeff and Josiah after the last day of camp. They caught some little catfish, but when you bring in a double (like Isaiah did in the picture below) that is extra exciting!
