Mini Camp at the Library

Nelson and Alli started swim lessons again this week. It was a crazy week because it rained every day except Friday. On the days they didn't cancel the class, the kids swam in the light rain or sat on the side of the pool until the heavy rain stopped. Thankfully the sun came out yesterday and they had lots of fun. We even went back last night to swim with Greg.

I had signed Nelson up for a mini camp at the library before this session of swim lessons. I decided to leave him in both. His camp was Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for three and a half hours each day. The theme this week was 'Puppet Show'. There was a professional puppeteer who visited one day. The kids made all sorts of puppets - paper bag puppets, painted hand puppets and sock puppets. When I went to pick Nelson up the first day, Miss Anne told me she thought he was "adorable." She said he was so well behaved and very sweet. She asked if she could take him home with her. I declined because I really like him too. :) On the last day of the camp, the kids split into groups and did puppet shows.
About 30 minutes before the show was to start, Nelson called me and asked me to bring the Star Wars theme music up to the library for his and Matthew's puppet show. It was pretty cute. Nelson narrated the story. Their puppets fought with invisible light-sabers as each boy made sound effects for his own weapon. ~ We are very lucky to have a great library in our neighborhood with such great programs.
