Friends,Family, Visitors and Children

Well, this is what the Morton's have been up to...
Chapter One
Over the last three weeks, the Morton Maidens have helped our Aunt Kathy and her sister with a handwriting camp for children ages 3-5. This has been a wonderful learning experience for us!

Getting ready for a song.

Singing a song that encorperates using shapes, which helps the children identify the shapes.

We also made play-dough, which helps strengthen children's arm and hand muscles by pouring the ingredients and mixing the dough.

Mixing... And more mixing.

Aunt Kathy, Meg, and S.A.M
Chapter Two

The following are pictures from This past Sunday Mumsie wearing "Daddy's Southern hat". Isn't it charming?

The next set of pictures are of our family. We had a campfire with s'mores, hot dogs, chips, pie, and everything else un-healthy! We also had fun playing games such as monkey-in-the-middle, and Phase Ten (a card game),etc.
