"Wire It Up" It's Summer Camp Time

Yesterday was the first day of summer camp for the boys. They were going to a near by red woods state park to wire it up with "electronic week" at science camp. They were all super excited to go. Just think, Miles and Liam were going to finally have some "big boy" times, doing things Aidan was doing, and no more preschool.On the drive there, Aidan being the big brother that he is (slightly bossy) was giving them the low down about the rules. Seeing how this was going to be big kid activity, it was all taken so very seriously. It brought a smile to my face just listening to them. The good thing was, Miles and Liam had some friends there too, this would certainly help with the transition. Picked them up that afternoon, and they were all smiles, It was a good day!

Summer Camp In The Woods

Aidan's last day at camp with his pal Parker. He had a great time at camp and is already making plans for next year. We are very fortunate to live near gorgeous redwoods where the boys spent their days, hiking, swimming and enjoying outdoors science projects. There's nothing more satisfying than to see my child truly enjoying himself.

The Lorax - A Drama Camp Production

Aidan has been having a fabulous time at summer camp. This past two weeks was drama camp that ended with a Variety Show and a play, The Lorax by Dr. Seuss, performed for family and friends.

Aidan has always been a shy soul so I thought drama camp might be just the bit of medicine he needs to help bring him out of his shell. I was a little worried that this line of thought might actually backfire and work against us but, boy did he pleasantly surprise us.


He was part of the fashion show, where he strutted his stuff in baseball attire without any timid reservation. Following the Variety Show was their performance of The Lorax (a great story with an environmental message that's so fitting for the times, if you're not familiar with it you might want to give it a read). Aidan was part of the factory and once again enjoyed being in the spotlight without any signs of stage fright. Quite the opposite he was animated and obviously happy.

We had so much fun watching Aidan perform with all his summer camp friends. After several days of foggy cold weather, the skies cleared giving us a gift of gorgeous weather for the special day. Yay, to drama camp and a successful event!

Ahoy Matey! Arrrrrrrr Fun Times!

Aidan started summer camp this past Monday and this weeks theme is pirate week. Aidan has fully adopted his pirate persona and is thoroughly enjoying camp. It helps that he's there with his buddies, Parker, Zaidan and Ezra. Camp is a bit of a schlep away, lots of driving for us moms, but the boys get to enjoy gorgeous nature area with hiking trails, grassy meadows, farm animals and weekly swimming in the lake. Some fun times!
