Camp Fern

Today is the inaugural day of Camp Fern. Technically, it's the first weekday that my kids are out of school/camp so I am now their full time camp director. So how did I fare?

First of, both kids were dead tired from our weekend trips. For the first time, the temperature in NY hit the 90s, so it was an unbearably hot and sticky weekend. Saturday was my east coast high school get-together. I almost didn't go because I was worried that my kids will be bored to tears because they will be the youngest kids there. Thankfully, both of them had a lot of fun, but they were so tired and wired in the end that we had to go home earlier than the rest of the gang.

Sunday was Six Flags day, which was really a mistake because it was the hottest day so far. The kids had fun though, but they were really dead tired in the end because of the intense heat. Even Joshua, my cool, mellow Mister Ba had a tantrum before we went home.

So, what did the kids end up doing today? The kids had a doctor's appointment in the morning so we had to get Jacob out of bed even if I know he still needs more sleep. Result, they were running all over the doctor's office and bouncing off the walls. Next come Joshua's gym and Jacob's playdate with his friends from school. The playdate turned out to be a picnic in the playground, I told Jacob he will playing at his friends house, so he was not expecting to play out in the sun. Ergo, it was a bust. He kept on begging me to go home.

So tomorrow is another day. Jacob has another appointment in the morning and then he's off to Tito Jun's house- so a lot of swimming and play in the playroom. Joshua gets the mommy and me time in the afternoon, hopefully it will not be a bust. And I totally refuse to plan anything right now. We'll see.
