In October, we went to a Nature Program about Indian Campfires. The instructor did a short presentation about campfires. While the fire was going, she demonstrated the different stations set up around the area. The first station Kaylee chose was making necklaces with wooden beads, of course.

Next, she played some games.
 |
Put two sticks on the back of your hand, let them go,
and try to catch them before the hit the ground. |
 |
| Toss sticks into a hoop on the ground. |

One of the most popular stations was grinding corn. It was really neat. It was entirely made out of wood. Then, they cooked corn bread over the campfire.
 |
| Kaylee loved grinding corn. She went to this station at least 2 times. |
 |
She was supposed to wrap her corn bread dough around a
stick, but instead she smashed it between her fingers.
|
 |
| We finally got her dough on the stick and she cooked it over the fire. |
She finally got to eat her dough. It was a bit doughy in the middle, but she couldn't wait any longer.
