Evelyn made herself a flag.
The table in the library didn't look so elegant next to everything else. So Melanie helped me give it a new look
We have a lot of old maps to choose from. We went for an older looking one that was a good size. Snipped it in half along the crack of the table. Added lots of Modge Podge on top.
Ta da!
Nathan prefers to putter away in the garage/workshop.
It's a little trickier keeping an eye on your game pieces when the table is a bit busier. But you can look up places in the world while waiting for your turn.
Jennifer was given special extra early birthday privileges this year. She got to open gifts before we went on a holiday. And it wasn't even her birthday yet. But some years she's waited an extra day...so we made an exception this time.
After all, if we are going camping, shouldn't she get her 11 year old jackknife present (this is our family traditional 11 year old b-day gift) along when we go, instead of getting it when we are finished camping for the year? It's not like Jennifer and her siblings didn't know what she was going to get.
Checking out all the attachments. Hopefully they are all satisfactory. She had to settle for an red jackknife, although she'd have preferred an orange one.
Getting ready for a camping trip always requires a lot of organizing. It looks messy while it's getting organized. If we can lay it all out, then we can tell, hopefully, what is missing and pack it before it is too late. Once we are in the bush it's too late.
The pillow cases are full of clothes. You pack your clothes in the case, and then you can use it as a pillow at night. Since we don't have room to pack pillows. Maybe bring a soft sweater for the top.

I didn't realize you all had your own paddles now. Do they come in different sizes/weights?
