Wonder Years Academy Summer Camp

I signed the boys up for a little summer camp to help them have fun this summer because we are stuck at home a lot with the new baby.  They went Monday- Friday for one week for 1.5 hours.  (It's amazing how quickly 1.5 hours goes by when they are gone!)  They had a great time and there was a different theme each day. The first week was Fantasy Fun Week where they pretended to be something different each day. 
They started out with the boys as Knights and the girls were princesses.
Griffin and Andie are the best of friends!  Luke is kinda the 3rd wheel.  Griffin says he's gonna marry Andie and Luke says he's gonna marry me!  So it will all be fine in the end!

Another day was monster day!  
They also had pirates and fairies day and super heroes day but I forgot to take pictures.  
To finish off the week they were Gnomes and Fairies.   
These expressions kill me!  The boys made little gnome homes and the girls had fairies in a jar.  The gnomes and fairies glow in the dark so the boys couldn't wait to see them glow!

 After the last day of camp Kiley and I took the kids up to the Alpine Splash Pad in an attempt to entertain the crazies without melting in the heat.   We had a good time!
Here are Griff and Luke shooting each other with the water guns.  I like this place because the splash pad is pretty small and it's easy to keep track of your kids!

The next week of camp was called "Adventures in Reading."  They read a different book each day and made a craft that went along with it.  Some of the books were Knuffle Bunny, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Horton Hears a Who and the other two I can't remember.  

Unfortunately for Griffin he got stung by a wasp on the last day.  It stung his forehead and his finger. The teachers said that he was very brave.  He was fine that day but the next morning he woke up with a swollen forehead and eye.  The next day was worse it had moved into his other eye and down his nose.  

Poor Swollen guy.  Don't mind the chocolate milk mustache.  This was the first day.  
He looked like a dinosaur with his eyes all sunken in and his nose swollen.  I'm so glad that he is ok now and that he didn't have any allergic reaction.

I want to go to the Wonder Years Academy! I LOVE the gnome house, it's my favorite! I'm so sad about Griffin getting stung. That looks so sad! I'm glad you got a picture though. I once got bit on the eye while stalking boys (ah good times) and it blue up like a big ole purple balloon! No bueno. Love this camp and think there should be one for moms. I love you and think you are an awesome mom! Kiss that baby for me. XOXO
