Our granddaughter, Abbygail Branch, attended the One-Day Grimes County Leadership Camp Thursday at the Grimes County Extension Office in Navasota. The day was successful and fun one for all in attendance. They learned about what 4-H is all about. They made a human knot (which Abby said was hard) to learn about teamwork, participation and cooperation. They also made a paper chain to teach them how to work together and communicate with each other and they experienced other learning activities. Their science activities included making edible pudding slime, ice cream in a bag and a lava lamp. This group of children (ages 8-18) ended the day with a water game with balloons and shaving cream. Ah, one whole day of not sitting around watching TV or playing on their phones.
