Adventure-Rific- Weeks 1 and 2

The kids joined Adventurer Club through the church affiliated with their school.  They meet every other Thursday night from 6-7:30(ish).  It is similar to a girls/boys scout for both genders and with a Christian foundation. 

On week one, Anthony couldn't attend because of the previous Monday holiday threw his Football schedule off a pinch to Thursday practice.  But, we invited Will and Diamond to join in and they did.  We got our uniform shirt, learned the pledge and law and song.
Adventurer Pledge
Because Jesus loves me, I will always do my best.
Adventurer Law
Jesus can help me to:

• Be obedient
• Be pure
• Be true
• Be kind
• Be respectful
• Be attentive
• Be helpful
• Be cheerful
• Be thoughtful
• Be reverent 

Then we were told our "age group" 1st and 2nd graders are Busy Bees and 3rd and 4th are Builders.  After introductions, we got to start our Lizard award patch.  We painted our own lizards:

Amiah and Jayna

After painting the kids had snack time and then we went outside to play a get to know you ball game.

Week 2 we got to meet some new friends.... of a different type to complete our Lizard Patch award.

Adventurer Cameron brought in his pet bearded dragon, Camo.  We got to watch Camo enjoy his supper:12 crickets.

 Next, our guest Mary Beth introducd her to her reptile friends.  First we met Barnobus and Poppit. 

Poppit, the female

Barnobus, the male

Next, we got to meet Pebbles the fat tailed Gecko

 

 We couldn't touch the next critter, Jabba the Pacman Frog.  His respiratory system is very much through his skin so it can give him breathing issues to be handled much.  In addition, he is the only breed of frog with teeth, so it could potentially be a safety issue as well.

We could touch the next guy, Chubbs the Asian Painted Frog.  He looked stone like to most the kids.

Lastly we got to meet Dee and Dexter, Boa Sand Snakes. 

Tucker showed us a lizard tail he had from trying to catch a lizard, too funny

After we met the reptile pets, we had snack time.  Then Anthony got to paint his lizard since he missed it from the week before.
