This past week was the Spring Break from school.  Since Stuart and I did not have time off from work, we had signed the boys up for a spring camp at the local recreation center.  When I dropped them off on Monday morning, both of them were hesitant and asked about the time being picked up.  The slight sadness on their faces were making me worried and sad all day at work.  At the end of the day, as Stuart and I had previously expected, the boys had a good time at the camp.  They shared about the art and craft projects and indoor gym activities they did there, and they gave the day 9 stars out of 10.  They both had met one other boy at camp and seemed to have hang out together as four-some majority of the time.  On Tuesday and Wednesdays, their days were pretty much filled with other indoor activities and they gave it 9 or 10 stars as well.

    On Thursday it was a field trip day to the Oakland Zoo.  The kids had fun looking at some animals and shared some animal activities they saw with us.  The best part of the day for both was at the gift shop and they were excited to show the toys they bought.  Connor seemed to be fine during the bus ride as he was playing with the stuffed animal he bought with his friend.  Logan, on the other hand, reported that the bus ride was the least fun part of the day as he had nothing to do.  It turned out that Logan was bored since his friend fell asleep and he did not.

    The last day of camp was like other non-field trip days with indoor activities.  The boys enjoyed the last day as well, and at the end, one boy gave the camp 9 stars and the other gave it 10 stars.  In addition, Connor brought home a certificate as he received the “Camper of the Week”.  He said he received the reward for listening well and following instruction without any reminders.  He earned himself a bag of chips to enjoy while watching a movie there.
