Camp Chronicles - Week 2: Day 1

Jack and his best buddies Grayson, Jordan, and Cole have embarked on their second week of camp.  All of us Mom's were worried going into this second week because of the mad-hot and humid weather.  I'm pretty sure I talked to Jack about water consumption at least 182 times over the weekend.  Even went so far as to tell him if he didn't, he would get very sick.  That may have been a mistake - he got out of bed and said "Mommy, I don't want to get very sick."  The scare tactic worked a little too well but it did work - he drank lots of water.  

Simone is their new Counselor (I know, she sounds exotic, right?!?)  It's so odd to have a stranger whom you've never met caring for your child - that's probably been the hardest part of adjusting to camp for me.

Day #1 Stats
Sunny
Temp: 97 Degrees
Dew point: 81
Feels like: 113 degrees
Tied the all-time Minnesota dew point record!

Day #1 Agenda:
Singing Hill

Find a Fort & Snack Time
(Banana & blueberry vitamin bar)

Giant Slide
(Not exactly sure what Jack does during giant slide time - he will not do it because it is too dark and too scary!)

Lunch
(Bologna and cheese sandwich, Pringles, fruit smoothie, & rice krispie treat)

Swimming
(By far, Jack's favorite activity)

Water Balloon Toss
(Jack caught a balloon and he was so proud!)

Row Boating
(Big news: they saw a BASEBALL in the water!)

Singing Hill

Despite the deep south weather, our little troopers had a great time!  I gave Jack the option of going back for day 2 and he was all about it so apparently, the heat wasn't all that bad after all.  We went home and spent a couple of hours playing in the nice cold water in the backyard.
