Camp Mommy: Weeks 5-7

Moving right along from these past weeks to 2 more weeks of fun! Our 5th week started off with a very fun first visit for both Quinn and me to a rec center pool. Levi, Luca, and Quinn had a great time playing in the water, and I loved that the kiddie areas were perfect for them so parents can simply watch and spot as needed. We will definitely go back again. I also think Banner would love it there. The fun continued with a play date with all the cousins at Grandma's house the next day, more My Gym on Wednesday, and library story time on Thursday. Banner and I ended our week with a road trip to GFC with Mara and Caden. We spent the night in a hotel after a night of catching up with friends, dinner, Shabbat, singing, playing, and fireworks. The following morning, we did more exploring at camp and really enjoyed our time with Caden & Mara. In the meantime, Quinn was having a blast at home with Daddy, who made sure to wear Quinn out the minute he got up Saturday morning: car wash, errands, walking around the pond at Daddy's office, a visit to Grandma, My Gym, etc.

Week 6 was busy as well! We started the week at the Perot museum, exploring and playing with Grandma, Amanda, Aunt Kira, Levi, and Luca. Quinn loved the sand, the water, and playing with the "groceries," especially sorting them and putting them in and out of the bins and grocery bags. We overstayed and had to rush to Aunt Kira's house for lunch to be home in time for nap, but that was a lot of fun eating at her house. On Tuesday, we went to the splash park after another story time at the library.  On Wednesday, another My Gym class, and on Thursday, a visit to the Children's Aquarium. By Friday, we were worn out... but Daddy came home early from work, and we went to Grandma's for swimming before dinner. The boys have been doing a lot of that lately - swimming at Grandma's house with Daddy.... I'm not sure who likes it best: Quinn loves learning to splash and play in the water, Banner is becoming quite the little fish jumping in and swimming and going under to get the rings, Daddy says he just loves the time with the boys and watching them get so good at swimming, and I... well, I like that I get a break! We will truly miss these summer days!

Week 7 began with a visit to The Coop, a place we'd never been before. The kids seemed to enjoy it - the slides, the balls, the dance floor, the toys and ride-ons. Later in the week, we went to the Fire Department for a tour, and on Friday, we went to an open gym for a fun preschool play group with Grandma and Levi.

Only one more Camp Mommy post before it's back to work and back to school! How is that even possible!?!?
