Shopping, labeling and packing for camp was the order of the day, and it might just take the rest of the summer to clean up the residual mess, though I'm not quite sure how that's possible since they take most of their stuff with them. At one point there was a lull in the action as we waited for ANOTHER load of towels to be ready, and we took the opportunity to run a quick errand.
Apparently it wasn't that quick, because when we returned we had missed the baby's inaugural dip in the kiddie pool, complete with his new bathing suit and rash guard t-shirt (I think I'll have a hard time getting used to "just shorts" bathing suits!).
I'm glad MBB made it fun, even though the 7 year old was disappointed that one of the "sleep away camp girls" stayed home, thus making it impossible to "practice for the summer." This is something she has been doing for the past month. Anytime just the three little ones were alone in the room, or the car, or anywhere she would proclaim "It's practice for the summer!" Often she would request the others leave so that she "Could practice for the summer." I hope she falls right into it, though I have a feeling she is going to be missing them terribly.
The day ended with a nice family supper, and then the annual trek to the local fireworks, where half the community joins in the oohing and aahing, and we see more people on the sidewalks then any other time.
I took a deep breath, but all I smelled was the OFF! we doused ourselves with, but I knew Summer had begun.
