We began the day promptly at 12:38pm. The first activity was Bubble Bath Baby Pool.
I filled the baby pool with bubble bath foam and threw in some snakes for them to find (plastic, not real- c’mon people). I thought it was a deceivingly clever way for the kids to get a bath while they played. In fact, I don’t think they would have caught on if I hadn’t perched on the edge to shave my legs. Inappropriate? Maybe. But I refuse to apologize for being a fantastic multitasker. …
It occurred to me that every camp needs a nature walk, so I pulled the kids out of the pool and we walked over to the butterfly, thereby constituting a nature walk.
I explained that it was a rare Costa Rican Tiger Butterfly called so because of its yellow & black markings. Then one child pointed out that tigers are orange & black. Then I pointed out that he was free to march his smart-ass back home to read more encyclopedias.
Tip: always know your audience.
Of course, I know there’s no such thing as a Costa Rican Tiger Butterfly sent by Santa, but a good nature walk should be full of interesting fun facts.
