Camp Invention 2010

I snapped these photos this morning of McCanless and her pal, Eliza with my iPhone.  Today was crazy hair day at Camp Invention.  We had braids all in McCanless’ hair and spray painted them hot pink.  Mary Clare didn’t attend Camp Invention, but found it necessary to also spray paint her ponytails hot pink.  It may be next week before the pink comes out of her cotton top.

McCanless is really having a great time this week. I can’t wait to see her showcase on Friday.  Last night she was telling me all about her latest invention.  She wanted to spray paint her tiny clam shells pink (the shells we found recently) and hot glue them to a wooden board, also decorated.  The individual shells would be a place for each of her earrings.  I thought it was a pretty good idea for a 6-year-old.  Maybe not as “techie” as her Governor’s School counselors would hope for, but pretty ingenious, I think!

Inventors can be cute too, see!
