Oh, it was sad!

This is a photo of campfire song night when Otto fell in love with the song The Titanic. I'll type up the lyrics here - we found a version on iTunes by Pete Seeger but it doesn't have nearly the vigor that the camp song does:

Oh, they built the ship Titanic
To sail the ocean blue
And they thought they had a ship
Which the water wouldn't go through
But the good Lord raised his hand
Said, "This ship will never land!"
Oh, it was sad when the great ship went down

Chorus:
Oh, it was sad (So sad)
Oh, it was sad (Too bad)
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives.
It was sad when the great ship went down.

Oh, they were not far from England
And they were not far from shore
When the rich refused to associate with the poor.
So they stuck them down below
Where they'd be the first to go.
Oh, it was sad when the great ship went down.

Chorus

Oh, they shoved the lifeboats over
In that rough and raging sea
And the band struck up with
"Nearer My God to Thee."
Little children wept and cried
As the wave rolled over the side.
It was sad when the great ship went down.

Chorus

Soooooo, we have disected every line of this song, borrowed books from the library, examined photos on the internet, learned about icebergs, learned about the different levels of the ship, talked about how it broke, etc, etc since having learned this song. Otto is officially obsessed with the Titanic. Did I mention that we sing the song (especially the chorus) over and over?

There is counselor Kylie again roasting marshmallows with Otto. The rule was you have to give your s'more to someone else before you eat one. Otto doesn't like them anyhow so when Georgia-Rae gave him one he turned around and gave it to James!
