Wednesday at Camp - The King-Whited Family Blog

I think I’ve started almost every post with, “what a gorgeous day at camp” but seriously, every day is sunny, beautiful and just fabulous.

silly boys and funny counselors at breakfast

After breakfast, Meghan took nanny duty to let me go into town to run to the store. I needed coffee and I needed a little break. When I left, the boys had on their water shoes and they were going to go to the beach to try them out. When I returned from the store, Xander said, “saw-wee mom, we went swimming in our clothes!”

Later, when I asked what the best part of the day was, he said, “chex mix” and I asked where he got chex mix, because it’s not in the camp store and I don’t have any. He described it further and what he meant was playing in the checker pit. Meghan played something involving super heros in the checker pit and Xander loved it.

I love that they can have adventures without me.

While Augustus napped, Liv and Xander hung out after rest time so that I could get some work done.

And then during 3rd activity, Xander and I joined the fishing group on the boat. 8 little boys, a handful of dead frogs that one of them had brought for bait, hooks flying everywhere- it was quite a trip. As expected, 6 minutes into it, Xander said, “ok, I’m done fishing” but he was patient until we got back to the dock. We didn’t catch anything, but yesterday he said he wanted to go fishing, so we accomplished that request. I think once per summer is probably enough until he gets a little older.

This evening, Augustus ran around during Primetime and then we went home for bath time and snacks.

I tried to convince Xander to just come home with me, because he usually only lasts a few minutes of the dance party. It’s very loud and it’s just too much for him. He INSISTED he would stay the whole time. Liv was prepared to take him home as soon as he was over it. And, as predicted, he came home after about 10 minutes. When he got home he said, “the dance isn’t quite over yet.”

I’m glad he got to go and try it out.

I’m going to have to re-title this blog, “Xander and Mary’s daily adventures”
He just loves her SO much!
