Monday morning Kaitlyn left for her first girls camp. She was so excited. I was glad we mainly had everything she needed since I thought the camp started on Thursday and found out on Sunday that it was on Monday at 8:30am. I was so excited for her to go and experience it, because I always loved going to girls camp and also went back as a leader and still loved it.  The weather has not been very "summer like" but we are working around it. While it's been on the chillier side, we have made the best of it.

Finding things around the house to enjoy with friends and cousins.

Marbles...

Bubbles...

Picnics on the front lawn....

Painting rocks....

sidewalk chalk, bike riding, trampolines, parks, badminton, puzzles, games and anything else we can think of.

Damian went to the movies with his best friend and cousin Drayton. They went to see Karate Kid. They loved it and came back with some moves of their own, haha! Drayton ended up sleeping over.

Today I spent my morning cleaning out my very cluttered laundry room while the kids entertained themselves. We went to pick Kaitlyn up from camp at 1pm. She was happy to see us, but would have loved to have stayed at camp longer. I listened to her stories all the way home and enjoyed every second of it. I used to love camp so I guess I was living through her. She was just how I remember being after camp... loud, spouting out cheers, tons of stories, and coming back with souveniers.

As soon as she got home, we didn't give her a second to relax. We headed over to the splash park for the kids to enjoy the water. This summer has not been great yet for doing water activities outdoors, so they were very excited! I also enjoyed myself. It was gorgeous outside. Charity was there with her kids too, and Amy for a bit.

We love our summers!!
