This weekend we went camping with AzAFP (Arizona Adoptive and Foster Parents) group. The camp is called Friendly Pines Camp in Prescott, Arizona, and was built in the early 1940's. It was rather rustic. We did have running water and a sort of flushing toilet. It wasn't really all that cold... being northern Arizona, 6000 ft, and fall.... 75 during the day and around 40 at night. We had a little space heater that kept us very toasty.
There were kids there from infants to teens. Every year, the theme of the camp is different. This year it was call "Wild West", so the crafts kind of revolved around that for the younger kids.... sheriff's badges for name tags, hand made picture frames, western themed sun-catchers. Jazzy made a horse. We also colored our own Western scarves.
There were lots of other things to do like play on the playground, lots of board games, balls, tennis court, hiking... which I am very glad I didn't take Jazzy on or we wouldn't have made it back.
On Saturday night, we had a "dance". The music was hideous... like when you are at a red light or driving down the highway and some 8&8** person comes down the road with their car vibrating from the base turned too high .... but the kids didn't seem to mind. I almost lost mine (my mind)
On Sunday morning, we had a yo-yo show by the World Champion Yo-Yo guy. He has travelled all over the world for yo-yo competitions and has his own yo-yo school in Phoenix, Arizona. Each of the kids got a yo-yo and he tailored the length of the string for each one. That took quite a while.
It was a fun weekend and I'm sure we will go again next year. Jazzy and I made alot of new friends.
