If the winter version was marked by loads of layers and constant clothing changes, then this time was marked with loads of bug spray and tic checks. Every night when giving my girls a bath, I had to check every inch of their skin for tics, fortunately, the only person in my room who got one was me. :)
There were also a few 'firsts' on this trip: Aside from my first time seeing (and getting) a tic, I got to play tooth fairy for the first time (which was loads of fun, all the girls got a small piece of candy, and the girl who lost her tooth got even more candy and chocolate). Also my first time cleaning poo off a boy who not only didn't make it to the washroom, but also didn't tell us about it. It was discovered about 30 minutes later..... Oh the joys of working with children.
I came home tired, but also refreshed. We spent as much time as possible outside in the fresh air, which probably did me as much good as it did the children.
Playing outside in the woods
Playing "freeze tag"
Doing art projects outside
The kids went on a treasure hunt
We had a little carnival for the kids on the last afternoon of camp.
The girls love it for the sole reason of getting to dress up in princess costumes.
