We've been keeping very busy these last few weeks. Brody officially finished his first year of pre-school, complete with a end of year concert and everything. Unfortunatly, we still have to work in the summer so Thursday marked the end of "school" and Monday he started "camp". Now you see, school and camp are at the same place with the same teachers and mostly the same kids, but less of a curriculum and more field trips. So basically, it's the same thing, disguised under a different name. We tried to get Brody excited about going by telling him that he didn't have to go to school and instead he was going to camp. He thought he had won the lottery. He was so excited to go "camping" as he called it, that he was ready 20 minutes early!
On the drive to school - I mean camp - he said, "Hey, this is the same way we go to school". And yes, our plan for camp to be cool and exciting quickly unraveled. I'll spare you the details of his heartbreak and mini-meltdown and just tell you that he was displeased that we tricked him to thinking he was going somewhere cool, but kissed me goodbye and had a great first day of camp.
So in our free time, we've tried to get out an about and enjoy the summer while it lasts. Here are some photos of our adventures...
After picking up a big boy bike (well actually it's a purple girl's schwinn, but Brody doesn't care) at a yard sale. We hit up Target for a bike helmet. One look at this Thomas the Train helmet and Brody was sold. He wanted to wear it on the ride home...and once the excitement wore off, he caught some Z's.
We heard that Tractor Mac was going to be at Portsmouth Market Day this year so, despite the drizzly weather, we headed to the Seacoast to see one of Brody's favorite book characters. He was in heaven!
