They had a great first week--raving about it every day. The second week was exactly like the first except that they had already done all that stuff plus Katie's "boyfriend" decided not to be her friend for the second week (I think he got tired of being teased). It was also very hot and the leaders got tired of coming up with stuff to do that would be both fun and not in danger of throwing everyone into heat shock.
Oh well. It wasn't terrible, just not worth it. Will find a one-week camp for next year, or just skip the whole thing.
That first week worked out well because I was working and didn't have to worry about what the kids were doing and that was good for all of us.
So, I don't have much to report, since I wasn't with the kids much. They did have the Boy Scout raingutter regatta last week and they made some nice boats to race. Zack won his first race but didn't place in the end. Katie was the only sibling to race, so she was the winner! She won one race too. Everyone got a patch and dinner at the BBQ and it was a nice evening.
This week, I'm working again, so not too many activities. Lot of errands on Tuesday and we also went to the free movie in Kingstown. It was Curious George this week, which we had already seen, so I brought a book with me to read by the light of the film and it worked out well.
Zack and Katie's boats:
And another lego creation from Zack:
Lots on our list to do in the next few weeks, including seeing friends from our Friday group, which has been spotty this summer, Park Day, a lot of overdue playdates, swimming, the ooky exhibit and the American History Museum before it closes in September.
And then it will be fall again. Don't blink!
