Monday, June 14
We were at the Explorium - a children's musuem in downtown Lexington and some of the campers were investigating the horse exhibit. (We are using the horse theme this year at Mission House - so that worked out perfectly!) After I helped one of the children hop up onto the model horse, I was showing her how to steer. Gabby's eyes suddenly lit up and she exclaimed, "Oh! I know this! We read about this in a book this morning!"
It gave me a moment to smile and think how wonderful Reading Camp is - not only for the instruction provided in the morning but also for the rich real-world experiences the children get from field trips in the afternoon.
