Last week Apple had quite an adventure. She went to an outdoor school, known as Camp Loma Mar, for 4 days with the 5th graders from her school and another elementary school. We were able to fit her pillow and sleeping bag into her duffel bag, and the kids got to ride a nice coach bus for the 2 hour drive. At night she slept in a cabin with 7 other girls and during the day she spent learning about the outdoors. One full day was spent in the forest and the other day was spent on the coast. She learned all about wildlife, conservation, and ecosystems. She had a great time and has a lot of fun stories. The kids learned a bunch of new songs, and she has been singing them since she came home. According to Apple, this song is one of the favorites. It has a catchy tune, and I bet you can't guess why it's so popular...
"Starts with an S and ends with a T
It comes out of you and it comes out of me
I know what you're thinking but don't call it that
Let's be scientific and let's call it SCAT."
It's common for the school kids out here to go to these camps. Some go for 3 days when they are in 4th grade and others like Apple go for longer. It was expensive, and luckily the school does fundraisers to help with the cost. We were a bit nervous about letting her go, but we were so excited for her to have this great opportunity. We dropped off her two disposable cameras today and we can pick up the pictures tomorrow. She can hardly wait...

Well, she just would have learned that little poem from Sandy anyways I'm sure... I'm glad she had a good time!!
She looks so grown up with her backpack and duffel bag! What a great experience! Glad she enjoyed it!
WOW! Lucky girl. I especially like her little song... Ben, I'm POSITIVE, would get a kick out of it. I might just have to call you guys and have her sing it to him...
