Camps

Last week the kids were both in camp. Carson was in Safety Town. It is a great camp for rising Kindergarteners in our county. They learn about all sorts of safety-water, poison, fire, bike, school bus, stranger and many others. On stranger day they bring someone in to try to give the kids candy and lewer them away. Almost all of the kids go with the stranger, but all of Carson's group ran away and looked for help. Carson loved it, but he was scared on several occasions. He was afraid of the emergency on the bus and the driver was not so nice to him. Then he was also scared in the burning house. They have a trailer they bring and fill with fake smoke. The kids have to get out by crawling under the smoke and feeling for hot and cold doors. He could not tell me what scared him, but his teen helper had to really encourage him to make it through. They get a certificate at the end of the week, but they have to complete all the tasks. He made it, but only with some help.

This is a picture of one of the buildings in the little town they have set up. The kids get to ride big wheels through the town and learn about safety signals and helmet fitting. The even get red tickets for traffic violations.

I love this picture at the "graduation" ceremony. Carson is yelling "Dial 9-1-1"Carter, Carson's best little buddy, went with him to camp.
Mean while Macie and Addison went to Dance Imagination camp. They got to dress like princesses and dance all morning. They loved it and looked adorable in their tutus when we picked them up. On the first day of camp, one of the girls was taking Macie to the bathroom. When they got Maice undressed, she saw that her pull up was wet (I sent her in a pull up since she was wearing a leotard and did not know the people who she would have to get to help her). The teacher told Macie to stay there and went to get a dry one. When she came back, Macie was not there. She went into the room to ask on of the other teachers if they knew where she went. There was Macie, dancing around with all the other little ones with out a stich of clothing!
They had a great week. It was the last of our plans for the summer. We have people coming to town, but we will spend the rest of the summer being lazy. I am sure we will go to the pool even more than we already have been going. I want to take Carson to Six Flags and White Water too. It is going to be August 3rd before we know it and he will be in school all day.
