Wini turns pyro!

At Girl Scout camp, Wini learned to strike a match by herself. Quite exciting for a 6-year-old. They also learned how to handle pocket knives, carve wood, build a fire, tie knots, and bake a cake on the grill.

This match didn't work.



This one did.







From excitement to RUH ROH in 10 seconds.

She also learned the proper way to open and close a pocket knife, and to make sure she has a "circle of safety" when using one. Then she made wood shavings for firestarters.





I'm still taking ice skating lessons in a "drop in" fashion. It's fun and challenging both physically and mentally (fear keeps you from progressing).
