Day 4 - WATER The Water Cycle and more!

Vanessa's family garden and happy campers!


Zoe proudly showed us her very own garden!

Ask any girl at our camp about the water cycle and they'll tell you all about evaporation, condensation, precipitation going round and round! We learned different ways to save water and how much of the earth has available water for plants and animal...only 1%! The girls learned how to NOT run the tap to rinse their dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. We took a trek in our neighborhood to continue our search for more city parks to picnic in along with how many houses grow food gardens and chickens. In the 20 blocks we've covered so far, 42 houses are growing food and 2 have chickens. We still have more blocks to see tomorrow.

On our trek we visited my friend Caroline's garden and she showed us what she was growing. Actually Julie knew all of the plants as she is growing them too! Caroline explained how to save water by watering the garden efficiently and also let the girls harvest snap and snow peas along with spinach, chard and chives.
Nasturtiums from Caroline's garden! Yummy!

We enjoyed a glass of sun tea before leaving to visit Vanessa's family garden and Zoe's personal garden. After a picnic lunch (Check out the photos below of the waste free lunches the campers brought today), we came back and enjoyed a storytelling video about Walter the Water Molecule! We were drenched in water facts by the end of the day!
