So, the fireworks were on Saturday, Sunday we spent about 9 hours in the car driving home and Monday Clara was packed up and gone again for a week of sleepaway camp with her friend from ballet and church...
Here are the girls hanging out while we waited in the registration line...
We got registered right away and were off to set the girls up in their cabin. They originally picked a pair of top bunks (this camp has triple decker bunks)... but decided it was just too hot up there. The settled on a pair of bottom bunks so they could plug their fans in and have them near their beds.Clara immediately started pulling out her stash of craft goodies and her and her friend started to make things...
Clara and her stash of "duck tape"....
... this was the big thing this summer at her other camp so I had to send her a care package or two of "pretty duck tape".The girls were so ready for us to leave but we did get them to pose for one last photo in front of their cabin...
So Clara spent just one night in her own bed before going off to camp again! I had Alex at home with me though. We had a great week (that I have no photos of). I'm not sure that I've mentioned this, but Alex is starting school in the fall. He's going to be going to a brand new charter school that has a focus of technology and digital media. Starting last week, this new school is running a two week "camp" to explore some of the technology that they'll be using during the school year. Alex is in HEAVEN!! Last week his class was called Short Circuits and they spent the whole week building... you guessed it... circuits! This week he's in the video game design class. He just can't wait until September! As an added bonus, he's making friends with some of the kids he'll be in school with! Playdates (I guess he may be getting too old for that term) are already being scheduled!! Besides camp, Alex and stayed out of the heat and watched all of the Harry Potter movies in order to prep for going to see the final one. It was a really good week!
Sounds like Clara is going to have (had)a ball at camp. It's great Alex is excited about going to school in fall. So what are you planning to do with your new free time? I'm sure there's plenty to keep you busy.
