I put together a Boot Camp activity for the kids at the family reunion. I was the drill sergeant and did a good amount of yelling. I also made them do push ups for talking out of order. I wore my cowboy hat. I actually wear it every chance I get.These were the stations they rotated through. I made dog tags for each person and they earned beads for each station and for good sportsmanship.Timothy was in the group with the older cousins.Marksmanship was really a beanbag toss.Daniel and Michael were in charge of the station about following orders. They played “Soldier Says” and “Red Light Green Light” with the kids.This was a minefield activity where the ground was littered with water balloons and a buddy had to guide the person who was blindfolded through the field with verbal cues.One station was a memory game where the kids had to remember objects on a tray. Some kids were really good at this and some kids could hardly do it at all. Interesting.At the end, each warrior was given a headband.Paige led one of the younger groups. All of the cousins love Paige.Ready for Red Light Green LightI like these pictures that Richard took of the beanbag toss.Mark was especially excited to earn beads during the activity.Daniel spends his time at the Weber playing with the younger cousins. He catches them in the river when they are tubing. He lets them bury him in pillows and jump on him. Love it.
