Back From Day Camp

Well we made it through the first drop off at day camp, and I had a hard time, but not Thade he did great. We were a little early, and Thade got checked in and his name tag on, and he made a buddy right away. He was coloring so I made my escape, but not without a hug… Thade was ready for me to go, and told me that he met this kid that liked Spider-man and it was o.k. for me to leave. Dylan and I walked back to the car, and it was so strange without Thade tagging along too.

I needed to run snacks to James at work, and I was glad to have the errand to run. I was a little sad, but I knew that Thade would have a blast at Day Camp. James thought I was a little silly, I was watching the clock like a hawk just waiting for the pick-up time. I decided to take Dylan to the grocery store, and I was thrilled when my phone rang reminding me to go and get Thade from Camp.

I was a little early (about 10 minutes) so I snapped a quick pic of the Day Camp Site. When Thade (finally) got out for the day, he was all smiles, and had an art project to show off too. He really loved  Day Camp, and he can’t wait for Wednesday! I’m so happy that he had fun, and it looks like a great Summer program for him to be a part of  🙂

First Day of Camp

I woke up extra early, and got ready for the day… Today is Thade’s first day of Tot Lot Day Camp, and I’m one nervous Mommy. I know that he will have fun, and it is only an hour and a half, but I’m so stressed out about it… It is crazy to think just how quickly the time has flown by, and now my little guy is on his way to a big kid event (without Mommy)! Wish me luck, I’m more nervous than Thade 😉

T-Ball Take Two

Last night was Thade’s 2nd T-Ball game, and it was team picture night too. It was a fun game, but Thade and I were sneezing our heads off before the night was over (darn Cottonwoods). Thade did a great job up at bat. He is getting the hang of throwing the ball back to the coach too.  It was a fun evening, but next time I’m going to make sure to take my allergy medicine earlier in the day 😉

Our Trip To Grandma’s

Yesterday was my Mother in laws birthday, and I was planning on taking the boy’s to visit her. She had a few places in mind to take the boys, and I had a few errands to run while I was in town too. We both decided to meet at Payless Shoes and do a little shopping. Thade found a pair of Transformers tennis shoes, and I picked up a pair of Summer shoes for Dylan. It was buy one get one half off after all 😉

After the shoe shopping it was getting pretty close to lunchtime and both boys were hungry. The birthday girl suggested Chili’s and that sounded great to me too. We ordered Chips and Salsa to munch on while we waited for lunch, and Thade happily colored on his kids menu munching away on chips. Lunch gave us plenty of time to catch up on all of the gossip, and I ate way too much tasty Margarita Chicken 🙂

We then headed to Grandma’s house, so I could change Dylan and get Thade ready to go to the park. Thade was so anxious to get to the park, he just couldn’t wait. Grandma had a great plan to head over to Lincoln Park and visit Kiddieland, a mini-amusement park just for kids.

We were all excited to go and visit, this was my first time there too. Grandma got a few tickets for Thade and we were ready to go and have fun!

Thade was a little nervous at first, it was his first trip to an amusement park, and he wasn’t too sure about the rides. He got a little bit of courage (and a Ring Pop) and he was ready to ride the boats. After the boats, he was ready to ride every single ride in the park 🙂

The park even has a Train that you can ride, and it was Dylan’s favorite. It is a small train that takes you all around the park, and it was so much fun we rode it twice 🙂

Dylan had so much fun riding the train, and waving at everybody as we went by. Thade thought the train was a little loud…

We all had a great time at the park and Thade is ready to go back and visit again soon. Kiddieland even has a Roller Coaster and a Small Ferris Wheel to ride too!

It was a fun trip to Grandma’s, and I think that she had a great time too 🙂

T-Ball Time

Last night was Thade’s first T-Ball game and it was a blast. Thade did pretty good too. He had fun batting, catching, and throwing the ball back to the coach. I think he even made a friend or two. It looks like it is going to be a great but busy T-Ball season. Practices are on Tuesday evenings and the games are on Wednesday evenings, so we will be out and about a lot.

Are your kids playing any sports this Summer?
