Since several of the kids did not have school on Monday, we planned some Valentine's Day activities to do with them. First we planned to make sugar cookies with them. We had four of them help make the dough, then everyone else who was not in school helped to roll and cut the cookies out. It had been raining earlier, but while we had been making the cookies the rain had stopped. So when we were done baking, most of us went outside and played a game of kickball. After lunch the kids came back to the kitchen and decorated the cookie. They were heart shaped with pink frosting and sprinkles.
On Tuesday, a few of us hung Valentines on that the staff had made on all the kids' and mamas' doors. After supper, we all played capture the heart (the same game as capture the flag), boys against girls. Girls won two out of three!! When we were done playing we passed out the cookies that we had made the day before. I think everyone had a good time and it was my first time celebrating Valentine's Day in the summer!
Some of the pictures are out of order, but I was able to post quite a few. I hope you all enjoy!
That sounds like a lot of fun! The kids look like they had a great time!
