Wood Working With Grandpa!

We went to Grandpa and Grandma's house to do a wood working class with Grandpa. Grandpa showed us all the tools we will be needing for our project.
                        First we need to cut the wood. Grandpa shows us how to use his power saw. We need to put safety glasses on so saw dust doesn't get in our eyes when we cut. We have to measure the wood and mark it so we know where to cut it. Here I go!
Grandpa shows Kylia and Zoie how to sand the wood pieces I cut.

                         Good job Zoie!  Sand those pieces of wood!
                                                Kylia's turn to cut the wood.
                                                 Sand, sand, sand. 
Zoie cuts the wood. Great job, cutting is done!
Grandpa puts all the pieces of wood together so we can nail them together with a nail gun. Here I go!!
Kylia's turn.   Great job!  We are almost done!  Grandma and Mommy brought home a little can of green paint to match our room. We got to wear Grandpa's old paint shirts. We painted it and we painted it. It was so much fun. Here's the finished picture of the box in our new room that we set up down stairs in the closet. Thanks Grandpa for teaching us how to build a box.

Light -up Frisbee

  
   Justin and Auntie brought light-up Frisbees to the Mitchell Family Campout. One  night we brought them out and a bunch of people played toss with four of  the Frisbees.  We were in a big circle and whoever wanted to play was welcome to play, and others just watched.  Some of us had head-lights and others had glow sticks.  It was pitch black so really you were just throwing to light.  Most of the time you really didn't know who you were throwing it to. That's part of why it was fun.
    I also got to know my cousins Isaiah and Emma better, and after the Frisbee game we all played on the tire swing before bed. It was super fun!
   Anyways, here are some pictures my Mom took of the Frisbee game. Hope you like them!
