I already mentioned that Ricky did his theater workshop this summer. That was at the Treehouse Museum.
The boys love the Treehouse. While Ricky was doing his workshop one day, the boys and I stayed to play. They have their favorite places to stop while we are there.
Rusty is going through a dinosaur phase and loved putting the dinosaur puzzle together…
The Utah Map is becoming more and more a favorite as the boys remember visiting different parts of the state…
Pokemon. A picture must be taken with this pokemon …
My heart melted when Tommy and Rusty climbed into this boat and started fishing. That was new and so, so sweet!
We got to watch a dress rehearsal of Ricky’s play …
Which led the other boys to the play stage upstairs at the museum and to some of this …
And some of this …
And some of this little boy being dressed up like a king …
And we must always visit the fire truck …
The boys also got to do my Camp FitPlay this summer. The day with the preschool aged kids is all about fun …
And, this year, parachutes …
Each of the boys also got to attend a day camp at the Ogden Nature Center. It isn’t a camp that sounds all that exciting, but the boys always come away from it chatting non-stop about this animal and that bug. Plus they get camp shirts. I’m a sucker for camp shirts …
Billy also brought home a cool water bottle from his day camp. He was very excited about that bottle …
Ricky was able to go to two scout camps this summer. As a Bear Scout he went to a day camp in June and as a Webelos Scout he went in August. Kevin got to go as a chaperone in August and had a lot of fun with our boy and the other scouts.
They went on a nature hike along side a river …
And shot some arrows and bb guns. Ricky even hit the target, which he was very excited about …
They went to a few other classes …
And paddled some row boats…
Ricky earned 4 pins from his day at camp and is well on his way to earning his Webelos badge.
I am so glad we can give the boys these opportunities to learn and experience. I’m glad that they LIKE it. They all seem to enjoy making new friends and learning from a variety of adults.
They don’t seem to miss me at all while they are gone.
I guess that’s a good thing.
