Happy Grandparent’s Day!

Happy Grandparent’s Day to all of our special HBMH grandparents! Although Sunday is the real holiday, we had the opportunity to celebrate and honor our wonderful grandparents today. We’ve been preparing for the event all week, baking muffins and cutting fruit to be served, and making special gifts for our grandparents.

Special “thanks” to our grandparents who traveled from out of city/state. We’re glad that you could join us for this special event!

4th of July Fun

Better late than never…I have to share a few photos taken last week during our Independence Day Celebration in our Primary Community. As part of our Summer Camp Theme “Natural Art”, our friends used recycled items to create holiday decorations. What a fun way to celebrate our country’s independence!

Red, white and blue fireworks were made using a recycled toilet paper roll as a stamp. (Glitter was added for special affect, of course!)

Necklaces were made from pre-cut shapes, hole-punched and threaded onto a piece of yarn.
Festive red, white and blue garland adorned the room.
One of our friends chose to grade the color tablets in intensity of color, according to what he thought was most patriotic.One of our primary community members proudly displays her 4th of July crown hand-made from a paper plate and painted blue and red.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day/Weekend with their families!
