On Tuesday, July 27th the adults held the Remembering Fun & Games Bi-folkal kit. The group really enjoyed this one.

We even did two skits that  came with the kit.

Everyone talked about games from their past. The video was really enjoyable also.

On Wednesday and Thursday the kids make Sea Creatures. They were given shells and various items to decorate with.

The kids used their imaginations with this craft, some of the creatures were really interesting.

…

Were getting close to the end now. Week #7 held two events.

Engraving Art for the teens and water games for the little kids.

there will be no pictures from water games because the director [who owns the camera] was at a meeting in Lawrence on Friday,so there will be a couple pictures from the workshop instead.

Up next? Remembering Fun & Games for the adults on Tuesday,July 27th  and Sea Creatures for everyone else on July 28th & 29th.…
