Covington has a program in the summer where you can earn badges by doing various things and after you collect all the badges you can turn them in to get a 3 month swim pass at the Aquatic Center. I had planned to do it after we go home from Hawaii, but forgot about it until last week. I thought it was too late to do, but a friend asked if we wanted to do it with them. After looking through the list of requirements, we decided it was manageable to do within a few days.
On Sunday the kids did a few things that needed to be completed ahead of time.
The built a fort.
Took picture of their collections. This is Kenzie's shell and sea glass collection.
Jackson's coin collection.
Coleman's rock collection.
Jordan's Rubik's cube collection.
We also looked up family history and researched a local critter (we chose the rabbits that always come in our yard).
On Tuesday and Thursday we visited 14 businesses to collect the badges.
At City Hall the kids voted. Coleman voted that baseball was his favorite sport!
Eating their candy they received after voting.
Kenzie Hula hooping at a physical therapists office.
Throwing frisbees at John L. Scott.
We have a lot of kids between our two families :)
We checked out books at the library.
Flew paper airplanes at a finance office. We were excited to see two of our friends (Hunter and Mikah) had the furthest markings. Bryce's came in third. When we walked in here the lady asked if we were a day care :)
At critter control we talked about what critter we learned about.
At the water place we showed pictures of water balloon fights the kids had this summer.
At Red Canoe Credit Union the kids bowled.
At the eye place we showed pictures of a hike we did.
At the dentist we talked about brushing teeth and they gave the kids all toothbrushes and toothpaste. They usually have the kids brush their teeth, but our group was too big and their bathroom too small for us to do it:) I liked how Kenzie found the books and started reading immediately.
At Pinnacle they shot a basketball.
This was our last one! Now we just need to go collect our swimming pass!
After we went to the Winters' house and these girls made us an assortment of yummy treats!
