Got one back... (kid)

Elizabeth has been at science camp "Biotech Summer Academy" since Sunday evening at Missouri Western.  They finished up this afternoon and we just got home from picking her up.  The others remain at CIY until Friday.

This was a free camp that they offered.  It was the result of a 2 year grant, and this was the second year.  However, they came in under budget last  year and this year, and have money remaining.  Hopefully they will offer the camp again next year with the remaining funds.
They got to extract DNA, visit the planetarium and did several chemistry experiments in the lab.

The campers stayed in the dorms and ate on campus.  They moved out this afternoon in time for the Kansas City Chiefs to be moving in on Friday, to start their training.

One down Three to Go

Campers that is. We took Emily to Science camp at William Jewell College this afternoon after church. She already had found some from last year and did the girl squeal thing that they do as they run up and hug. We had the parent meeting and said our good byes. Saturday morning the campers will have a science fair for the parents and then we bring her home. Also Saturday is the beginning of the county 4H fair. I still am not sure how I am going to be 2 places at the same time, but at working on it.

Rebecca's missing rabbit has been trapped in a coon trap (twice--the first time she got out AGAIN) and put back into her hutch. I bet she is telling the rabbits lots of stories of her exciting free time on the other side of the fence. We are lucky enough to have a family from church who live down the road from us that do a lot of hunting and trapping, so we were able to borrow a trap from them. Last year they also helped trap some raccoons and stray cats that were helping themselves to our chickens.

The twins are working on their sewing project for 4H for the fair. All of the girls are good little seemstress. However, one of the rabbits has started loosing its fur--right before the show, that isn't the best time for that to happen.
