Alex went back to his preschool for two weeks of summer camp earlier this month. I can’t believe it’s been a year since dropping him at his first camp and boo-hooing in the Starbucks parking lot! This time, we were both very excited for him to return to camp for a few days. I should probably say all three of us were excited, because I know Spencer enjoyed the time at home and on adventure away from Alex!
The first theme of camp was cooking. During each of the 4 days, they read books about a certain food, then cooked it! Alex had so much fun! The first day was noodles, so they cooked linguine with a butter sauce and picked fresh veggies from the preschool garden to mix in. Alex doesn’t like noodles, so he wouldn’t try it, but Spencer and I enjoyed it! Over the next few days, they made small pizzas, flipped pumpkin pancakes, and baked oatmeal raisin cookies. Each day, Alex was so proud to come home and share the remnants. The second theme was underwater adventures, so they learned all about ocean animals. He learned a ton about sharks and whales and made some cute artwork.
While Alex was in camp, Spencer and I ran errands and enjoyed our time playing at home. We did sneak to a play date with Liam, one of Alex’s friends … we actually went bowling! We tried bowling one time last summer, but Alex wasn’t impressed and Spencer was too little to really participate. This time was a blast! I can’t wait to go back again!

The smallest bowling ball was 6 lbs, so I would carry it to the ramp, with Spencer “helping
and holding it from the bottom. Then he’d give it a push. So fun! |
