Summer Camp Adventure!
Even though we are from southern Louisiana, my children were super excited to visit the Jean Lafite National Park and Preserve and take part in the week-long wetlands camp.
First day of camp, ready to go

Only my kids would want to take a picture with the ranger car!!
Camps feature outdoor activities, nature crafts, hands-on experiments, music, games, and cultural explorations. On the last day of camp they took a field trip to Greenwood Alligator Farm. Greenwood processes the alligators that RJ and J Paul Mollinere and some of Liz’s gators from the History Channel’s famous Swamp People series.
The kids could not say enough good things about this week’s camp and are very upset that they can not go back. It was a great way to start off our summer.

Camps are just the best! The whole nature experience is so important for kids who grow up in the city!
They loved it and learned so much
looks great! Are you using a picture theme?
Thanks. The theme I use is Nishita/
Such good learning opportunities! Great memories!
Yes, they learned a lot and had a great time
I’m going to take a wild guess here and say your kids are not into TV’s or video games, compared other kids their age. What a wonderful kids you got there and its so awesome to see them enjoy nature related activities. and oh, is that your commuter car?
They do love their handheld video games and the Wii, but get bored really easy with that stuff. They are full of energy and nothing can keep them still for long, so this was perfect. I have an unmarked charger and so does Nick, so I think that is why they get so excited to see marked units…lol
his and her Chargers? is there a word that combines “cool” and “cute”…lol
hahaha! They are both pretty awesome, of course mine is better!
of course…lol
