The boys survived the summer camp last week.  We had signed them up to a basketball camp at YMCA a couple of months ago and later we learned that the activities were being held outdoor instead of indoor as we had assumed.  Last week the weather was quite hot, so we were worried for them.  Every morning we tried to lather them with lots of sunscreen lotion, but at the end of the day the boys came home looking darker.  The staff offered sunscreen during the day for them to reapply; as a result, Connor often came home with “vampire eyes” as he had gotten some sunscreen in his eyes.  When we would pick them up in the late afternoon, they were also extremely dusty and dirty.  Stuart said that they reminded him of the “Pigpen” in Charlie Brown.  However, the boys told us that they enjoyed the camp.  They learned the basics of basketball skills the first few days and they played games on the last two days.  They also learned many rhymes and songs while they were traveling in the school bus to their activity location everyday.  The two boys enjoyed being together the entire time as well.  The only time they did not care for as much was after they returned back to the drop off location in the late afternoon, so Stuart tried to pick them up slightly earlier each day.  Other than the full day of basketball activities, the boys continue to have their weekly league practices, ie.Logan on Monday and Connor on Wednesday, and they did not seem to mind more basketball.
