Swiss Family Robinson Day~

We finished up our reading of Swiss Family Robinson a couple of weeks ago. We spent a few days planning and preparing for our Swiss Family Robinson Day. The girls were really excited about this and worked hard to make it happen.

(Tree Climbing Contest)

Did you know that in the book the Robinson Family has four boys??

Disney always has to change things.

(making candles)

Did you know that they are never attacked by pirates?

(picnic lunch of bread, fruit and cheese)

This is an action filled book with tons of animals, boys would love it!

(cracking open our coconut)

No one but Mom was brave enough to try the coconut milk, but the fresh coconut was delicious!

(Here is "Fritz", with his eagle, Pounce, on his shoulder)
(Here is "Franz" with his flamingo, baboon and dog)
(Here is "Jack" with his pet, Master Knips, the monkey)
(Archery contest underway)

It was not as easy to make that arrow go where it should as we thought it would be.

(slingshot contest)

We were a little more accurate with the slingshot. At least we could hit the barrel!
