This week, both children had "summer camp" and it almost felt like a normal week in the middle of summer. Both kids have not been with any friends or much out of the house in general since March 13th. So it was a big week for them and nerve racking for me. However, with the settings and limited amount of people they were in contact with, I calmed down and let them have a fun week.
Amelia attended for the third year in a row a private art camp. This year, there were only 12 students and masks were required as well as lots of disinfecting. Nonetheless, my little artist enjoyed the 7 hours a day she got to spend painting, sketching, crafting, molding and being with peers her age. Here are some of her finished products. Many more came home and found already a spot on Daddy's office wall and her room.
One afternoon, I picked her up and we stopped by at the Y Pool and the Farmer's Market. Homemade ice-cream was surely the right decision on that hot afternoon.
It just worked out, that Elliot had that exact same week camp at his Kindergarten teacher's house. Together with his 3 buddies from class, they spent 7 hours at Mrs. King's house where they did many amazing things. First of all, Mrs. King has 7 children of her own, so there are plenty of kids to play with. But she also has a huge yard, a pool, trampoline and planned lots of fun activities.
Each day the children also did some academic lesson and then painted, made a bird feeder or went on a scavenger hunt.
They even went blueberry picking today. These were delicious.
Thank you, Mrs. King for a fun-filled week. Elliot is sad that his year with you got cut short but this week made up for it a bit.
Both kids had a grand time and with the safety measures in place, no one got sick. They surely slept well at night and were exhausted from so much fun.
