Let's go to the hop!


We always have a party to cap off our week of fun. This year we are rockin' and a reelin' at the hop!


The cool cats at Dan's Diner



I made all the girls felt poodle skirts and the big girls had saddle shoes made from cheap white canvas tennies with the center colored in with a black felt tip marker. Cute but stinky! or stinkin' cute!


Here's the stinky shoes and the large records I made from poster board and labels made on the computer

I love these mini hamburgers made from Nilla wafers and mint patties.

Our cooks were hard at work grilling up everyones order.





Our Fabulous 50's Guests












Now We're Hoppin'

















Justly Rewarded!

Each of the campers get a certificate and some
 little memento that commemorates that years camp.


The boys were awarded an "authentic" dragons tooth necklace.


The baby girls received a beaded bracelet with a crown charm
and the big girls got scrabble pendants with a crown charm.

The Nifty 50's


The Professor had some disappointing news for us this morning. This is our last trip on the Time Machine! He said he needs to shut it down for some much needed repairs. I hope the machine holds together until we can get back from the 50's!


Safe trip little travelers!


Welcome to the 50's!


For this final adventure we were plopped down with the cool cats in the 50's.
 We were greeted by Dan of Dan's Diner fame who was hiring new car hops.

After applying, Dan tested out delivery skills by pitting us against each other in a Car Hop Relay.


We displayed how quick and careful we were with his gourmet fast food.
We are expecting BIG tips!

The trays are from Dollar Tree, and the food is dog squeaky toys.



We're hired!
The new wait staff of Dan's Diner!



Our new place of employment - Dan's Diner

Little Jerks
(Soda Jerks, that is!)





The ice cream cones were made from styrofoam shapes painted with acrylics.

Super Jerk!!!

Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play!
Dead Man's curve, you best keep away!
Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say
Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve!!


Drag racing is SERIOUS business!




Shake it it up baby!
Hula Hoop Champs!


Some kids can really shake what their mama gave 'em!


OOOOH! Elvis!!!
Elvis was the heartthrob of the Fifties. Some of his biggest fans show their true devotion!


Merrill gets ready to pucker up and plant a big wet one on Elvis.







Drive- In Lunch

Everyone piled into cars and gorgeous car hops came and took the orders. It was a bit to hot to remain in the car so the hops delivered our lunches literally in a car!





After lunch we went into Dan's kitchen and made hamburger
and hot dog cookies for tomorrow nights sock hop.








We finished out our day in the 50's by recording three video's using fifties songs. We will be playing these for our guests viewing pleasure tomorrow night.
