Another two weeks by

There goes another two weeks of summer vacation.  This week Trevor has his swim camp which he has been looking forward to for a while.  But I forgot to mention and add to it the take on two weeks ago where both of the kids were at an art camp.  Gwen was at Princess, Ballet, Tea party camp and Trevor was doing fun with clay.  Although I dropped them both off at the local middle school, they had to take a bus over to the Art center.  I'm pretty sure both kids were really excited by the bus ride, but Gwen might have been a little bit nervous about it too. 

Trevor came off the bus every day very clay-filled.  It was pretty cute.  I'm glad he had a good time with it.  Because they fired the clay in the kiln, I have not been able to see any of the projects yet.  But Trevor said that he made a plate, a mug, a cat head, Mario, and got to paint them all.  He also mentioned that he took orders from his classmates so he did some Garfield and Odie figures. 

Gwen came off the bus every day with projects that she and her class did as well.  The first day she had a crown, the next she had a wand, the next a tu-tu, and the last was a yarn wig for Rapunzel's hair.  They had a tea party on Friday and I had Gwen skip Golf that day so she could go to the tea party.  They had cookies that they frosted...I forgot to ask her if she actually had tea!  She had a great time and I'm glad she got to do that.  I bet she'd do it again next year. 

Last week, we didn't have any activities scheduled because Russ had his annual golf tournament at our club.  I was going to take the kids down to the lake earlier in the week, but Trevor had a playoff baseball game on Thursday night.  We had some friends over on Wednesday, and Trevor went to the park Monday and Thursday, and both kids were at the Childrens' Museum on Tuesday.  We headed down to the lake Friday morning.  Gwen got to swim and Trevor got his baseball game in with Bubba before we went to the Stone's Throw for dinner.  We had big plans for Saturday, but when rain happened for most of the morning, we scrapped them.  Both kids did got to swim again once the clouds broke up in the afternoon.  So then we went to the roller rink for dinner.  We were planning on a hopping time afterwards...or maybe a skating time....haha.  But Gwen fell asleep at the table.  Literally.  So we had to go back and drop her off.  All that swimming really does her in.  But Trevor was geared up to go so we headed back close to 7:30.  Megan, Ellie and Addie all met us there to also go skating.  Trevor tried on his new rollerblades.  They will take some getting used to, but he did pretty well on them.  He didn't win the limbo, but I still gave him a sundae.  I'm glad he likes to do it.

Sunday, we got up and decided to take our first real boat ride of the season.  It was sunny and warm so we quick took advantage.  The kids got to jump into the creek from the boat many times and I got some sun and warmth.  We headed back in the early afternoon and Gwen slept the whole way home.  It was good to be back and good to have Russ at home for another week so we are all set to get stuff done.....or are we?
