Day 3 began a little later, Aidan at least slept until the 7:00 am bell rang to get up but he was raring to go, practically jumping out of bed. Mommy on the other hand was not her perkiest, since I didn't go to sleep until 12:30 last night, but you have to roll with the punches.

We got a little delayed by a tractor and a horseshoe post on our way to bible class, and Estela Sue and I got to overhear the stories of wee ones. Mikyla and Lillia Sue got a ear full from Aubrey who very seriously informed them that the tractor with a front end loader could pick them all up and put them in a dumpster, and then they would be taken to the garbage dump, very scary stuff. But then it was off to learn about how Jesus takes care of all his sheep even the lost one.

The two highlights of the day were camp pictures and Grouch cake. Pictures turned out to be interesting since Ethan was falling asleep in his high chair at lunch and the pictures were immediately after. Our pre-campers had their shirts, the special twelve who are all born amidst my chillins. The only way we could get them all to stay turned around so we could see their number order was to get them to point to a huge wasp's nest, what ever works! Now Grouch cake is a whole other story. Mikyla and Aubrey have become obsessed with the sandy dirt up here at camp and have now initiated Lillia Sue into the mix and Ethan just tags along for the ride most of the time. They found that if you mixed the sand from the horseshoe pit and water from the nearby drinking fountain and mixed it together in the hollowed tree stump you could make "Grouch cake". They spent 45 min to an hour going from the dirt to the fountain and mixing, and then they made Ethan try it from a stick two times and according to Lillia "he didn't like it either time".

Then later Mikyla layed down in the horseshoe pit and crossed her arms like she was dead and Lillia and Aubrey sprinkled dirt all over her body and then one ran to a tree yelling, "Daddy, Daddy look!", then Mikyla sat up. Lori England joked that it was the burial and resurrection. Day 3 ends with Daddy coming back up for the rest of the week, he missed us too much to work one more day! More fun tomorrow
