The boys have attended various camps throughout the summer and have loved EVERY minute of it (and selfishly, so have I).Don't get me wrong, I love my children!!! They are active kids who love being around other people- I on the other hand am a homebody and love to be curled up reading (when I am not doing all the other things that I have to do to keep our home and family going).
The first week of summer the boys joined several of their friends at Voyagers Bible Church for VBS. Then for the next two weeks they did Adventure Camp through the city of Irvine. Adventure camp goes from 1 to 6pm. They wouldn't go every day, but two to three days a week. They have also attended morning camp through the city (which goes from 8-1). One week was Science camp and this week they are in Sports and Games Camp. Last week they did a day camp through Voyagers Church again where they got to go on different excursions plus some really fun stuff at the church site (plus, every morning there would be a Bible lesson and worship time).
Needless to say, we have had our share of camps this summer and we aren't done yet. Why camp for the Crouts? Jason is a super social child who needs to be around lots of people. Nathan would choose to be home like me, but by sending him out into the world he gets to flex his "social skill" muscles and have fun too. They both love interacting with the other kids, but especially the
adult staff.
The best thing for me (besides time to get stuff done and relax) is when I go pick them up and they don't know I am there yet. I watch them run around with the biggest smiles on their faces and then the tell me "I had the best day EVER". What parent doesn't want their child to get to experience such happiness!!
35 more days of Summer Vacation left. . . . . . .
