The kids stuck their hands in a tub of bees. Apparently the males do not have stingers. I still think they were brave for doing so. (Kyler had done this earlier and we didn't get any photos, unfortunately)

There were a lot more events I wasn't able to capture on film. They did archery, shot b.b. guns, tons of crafts, hikes, a skit (which everyone loved), etc.
It's been a great month for us, though very busy. Being as I am entering my 3rd trimester, I am exhausted but wouldn't trade any moment of activity for anything.
