Summer Camps

 We signed up Eric and Aubrey for some summer camps at Thanksgiving Point.  Eric attended the Lego WeDo Robotics class for 3 days.  On the last day, they performed a puppet show using their creations that they made.
 Grandpa was able to slip away from his education week classes to come watch Eric perform.  Eric loved this camp.  At the end, they gave all the students their very own lego set.
On Friday, Aubrey attended an all-day Fairytales camp.  Her camp was outside most of the day.  Her activities included: gingerbread houses, princess bounce houses, tangled lanterns, Hanzel & Gretel scavenger hunt, Jack & the Beanstalk, and Cinderella Carriage ride.  She had a wonderful time!
 
After we dropped off Aubrey, we only had 1 1/2 hours before we needed to get back for Eric's puppet show.  It wasn't worth it to drive home, just to drive back again.  Since we only had 2 kids with us, we went out to breakfast.
 
 After breakfast, we still had a 1/2 hour before Eric's show, so we let the girls ride the horses at Farm Country.  While we were there, Aubrey came by with her Fairytale camp.  It was fun to see her.  I think she was really surprised to see us at the horses.
When I picked up Aubrey from her camp, she had her Tangled lantern that she made with her.  They wanted the kids to light the lantern at night and make a wish when they were home.  We made her wait until Sunday to light it off. 
It was really windy outside.  Inside the lantern was a fuel block that you ignite.  The lantern is suppose to fill up like a hot air balloon and float into the sky.

The wind took the lantern so Zac chased it and grabbed it.  It started to burn his hand so he threw it on the ground and stomped out the fire.  As he was doing this, Devin says, "Take that, wish!"  Aubrey was not very happy that Zac stomped out her lantern and ruined her wish.
