We are in the thick of 90 degree days, pushing 100 degrees, and we were ready for it! We are now the proud owners of 3 different types of outdoor pool-type water toys, we still hit up the local rec center pools, and we have fallen in love with our all-day summer camp, which has a HUGE slip ‘n slide. (Full disclosure: We weren’t 100 percent on board with the summer sun regulations regarding sun screen–meaning we misled Mom and Dad regarding whether we did or did not get sun screened-up–and both Tessa and Riley got some pretty bad sunburns, but we are chalking it up to a learning experience.) So, when the heat’s up, we can stay home or go out and either way we can stay cool.
The great thing about our all-day summer camp is that we can go as little or as often as we want. But as they have zorbs (outdoor human hamster balls), go-carts, movie making, bread making, music recording, games, outdoor sports, and fashion design (in addition to the slip ‘n slide), we ask to go ALL THE TIME. Little Man misses the cut off by a year, so he’s not taking part in all the activities, so we can’t go everyday (we’ll miss Asher) but we’ve already been there more than Mom and Dad were planning. After all, it’s not our only summer camp or our only summer activity…
We loved our ceramics summer camp, making bird houses, banks, and lots of pots. We’ve already hit up the Museum and the Botanic Gardens a few times. And we’ve been to the mountains a few times too (riding our first Alpine Slide and making our second trip to Fuzziwig’s Candy Factory). Dad’s been taking us hiking a lot too, although that’s fallen off a bit with the heat. And all the while, we’ve slowly moved from ukes to guitars. Tessa’s dropped voice (but not Emmett). And we’ve got a language arts tutor twice a week now (really to keep up our forward momentum without placing the entire burden on Mom’s shoulders). So we’re busy. Mom and Dad are working to try to not over schedule us–but Mom’s already said no to a ton of stuff we asked to do once she said our plate was full. SO…
Anyway, check out the pics. They show a good time being had by all.
