The last few days have zoomed by! It’s nonstop! I lifeguard for one hour in the afternoon, and then it’s a million tiny things- helping the kitchen with garbage, talking to a homesick kid, answering emails, hanging out with my kids here and there, working on cabin lists for next week… and so on and so on.
A bunch of photos to catch up on the last few days-

Tuesday night is the campfire and counselor show. We took baths and changed into pjs before we went, because it starts at 7 and by the time we get home, it’s basically bedtime. Xander picked out this whole outfit (notice the shorts over the pants) and said it was his “super hero outfit”. He was very excited to show all of the counselors.

We take every camper’s photo with their s’more and Xander did everything just like the big kids. He roasted his marshmallow, walked over to the s’more station and then stood in line to get his picture taken.
Wednesday fun-
Katie took the boys to the archery range and Xander shot his bow just like the big kids. He was very proud of himself.
Wednesday is tug-o-war day. We mix the mud pit and make sure the mud is as sloppy as possible. Xander wants nothing to do with it, but Augustus was VERY curious. I think he would have gone in if I would have let him (it would have been up to his stomach). I picked him up while I was mixing it and dipped his toes in.
Wednesday night is the dance party! By 7pm, both boys were filthy, without shoes and Augustus had also ditched his shirt. We spiked his hair for the dance and then headed to the dining hall for a pre-dance party. It was fun to have all of the tables and chairs taken down so they could run around without any obstacles. They played superhero with Katie, sang, danced and ran
They were a little shy once the actual dance started because the music was louder and all the big kids were there, but Xander still danced for a little while before I made them both leave for bath/bed.
Tomorrow is our last full day of the first week! It is supposed to be hotter than today, so we’ll have to get to the beach.
