Field Trip to the Science Center
This summer we are having summer camp at home. Each week has a different theme filled with activities, crafts, food and field trips related to the theme. This past week was Week One and it offered a theme of Circus and Carnival. Here are a few images from our week. Our Field Trip was to a permanent carnival here in Phoenix called the Enchanted Island built in the 1940’s.
Next week school starts back up! It will be the short one’s first day of Kindergarten and I am worried on many levels, mom stuff! I thought I would make a morning check list on a place mat to make getting ready in the morning a bit easier. The place mat is laminated so we can use dry erase markers to check the items off and start fresh every morning.
I used card stock to cut out the plate and silverware using my Cricut and the Creative Memories Traveler Cartridge and then I glued it down to an 11 x 17 sheet of green card stock that I drew pink lines all over with a sharpie. I created the title “Morning Check List” and the actual check list on the computer using the free font called Chalkduster, printed it onto coral colored card stock and glued it down to the large sheet. I finished it by adding a piece of alphabet tape and then laminating it. Summer is ending – it’s back to school time!

We are headed out for our Summer road trip tomorrow. We are leaving Arizona and starting at the bottom of California in San Diego and driving all the way to the top to see the Redwood Forrest. We will stop all along the way to see sites and many friends. We are very likely to get caught in what is being coined “Carmageddon” so to ready ourselves for the boredom factor I created a road trip Boredom Buster tube. It is filled with several slips of paper listing games, hunts, sing-a-longs and so on. This should buy us hours of time if we are stuck sitting still. We are taking this trip in our newly renovated 1972 VW camper bus – I can not wait!

To create this project I used a plastic tube from the craft store and cut the stop light, camera and arrows using my Cricut and the Creative Memories Traveler Cartridge. I attached them to canvas and used markers to color them in.

The short one wanted to play with face painting and so I used my Cricut to to cut designs onto card stock that would become my stencils. I used the Alphabet Cart out of the new Anniversary edition Cricut and the Luau cartridge.
