River Jamboree (continued)

What exactly would you call this contraption? A bounce-house? An inflatable slide? Whatever it was, Juliette LOVED it!



Juliette saw her teacher from Sporties for Shorties and decided that the picture she was coloring was going to be for her. Several minutes later we caught her with her to present her with it. Juliette had no interest in getting her face painted, even though she saw two of her friends get theirs' done.

A representative was there from the New Hampshire Audubon Society. Did you know they actually use these Red-Tailed hawks in a sport?!

According to this guy, each competetor sets their hawk free and whichever one comes back with the most prey wins the prize...sounds like a sport for the hawks, but not for the men/women.


And lastly, a little ice cream from Arnie's. This place is located on Loudon road and I can honestly say I've never been there, but their homemade ice cream is awesome! Arnie gave us a free token for a regular sized ice cream as an incentive to go there.


They had a really cool activity where you were given a string to make a bracelette and in order to make on you had to goes through these stations: ocean, river, plants, animals, cloud, etc etc and at each station you would get a bead and in order to change stations you would roll this dice that would bring you to a new station or stay at the one you previously were at. Juliette loved looking for the symbols on the dice and matching it to the station and then adding another bead. They also had a demonstration about run-off with a scaled-down model a landscape with farms, houses, roads etc. I really think Juliette enjoyed the River Jamboree, we'll definately go again next year! Thanks Concord Recreation!
