YMCA Summer Camp




You know it had to be a busy day when a 3 1/2 year old reminds you that it's time for a nap. Today wrapped up Jason's first full week of summer camp at the Y. About 50 kids between the ages of 3 and 5 taking part in t-ball, soccer, and basketball. Those poor counselors. But, apparently, Jason stood out, earning an award for best sportsmanship. Proud as I am, I am baffled as well. This same boy nearly knocked over two elderly customers, as he ran screaming for the exit of a Barnes & Noble yesterday, clutching a book I refused to buy. This morning's ceremony in the gym, though, was all about the campers, who filed in wearing hats they designed themselves. They sang a rousing rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," which brought tears to my eyes, because they were all so cute. Sorry no pictures of Michael this time. He was too busy clapping, and hurriedly eating cantaloupe that fell on the basketball court floor before I could snatch it up. And, Jason just couldn't resist taking advantage of playtime with friends, Ian and Ethan. Sorry the photo is a bit blurry. It was tough enough getting them all in the picture!
