Bella will be in school every morning this year. She’s headed back to last year’s school for three days and going two days at a local park preschool. Last week we went to an open house and she didn’t want to leave. I’m guessing she’s going to really enjoy it.

Someone is getting a little too big for the play cars at the Ager Center.
Second week of zoo camp was a success. The summer is zooming by fast!
It’s strange to go to a car event and not see a lot of cars, but it was brutally hot on Saturday. We spent a lot of time inside at lunch. Bella and Mason invented a new game: see who can drop the most balls down the pool table pockets.
We spent a lot of time in the shade under “our tree” and a few tents. (We seem to end up in this same spot every year.)
We ate cold treats to stay cool. Bella’s first taste of Dippin’ Dots.
We are also grateful that our party hosts let us hang out inside every once and awhile so the kids could cool off. We may not have seen a lot of cars, but we spent a lot of time with good friends. That’s the best part of cruisin’ for us.
Today was the last day of Bella’s zoo camp: Coats of Many Colors. This week she touched a dove, a mouse and a rat. She refused to touch Spiny Bear the hedgehog, though. Her favorite was feeding the goats their breakfast.
The Zoo Crew helped the kids make scrapbooks of the things they saw this week. Isn’t that a neat idea? Here is Bella’s peacock.
She goes into a tv trance whenever the show airs.
You ask her, “What’s another word that begins with the letter ‘i’?” and she says, “Iguanodon!”
At dinner she says, “Mom’s a vegetarian just like Ned the brontosaurus.”
You hear la-la-loooo and graaaak coming from her room during “quiet” time.
She insists that you help her draw the entire Pteranodon family. (Dad drew the short straw for this request.)
The dinosaur in the middle is Buddy. He’s a T-Rex. Am I the only one who thinks Mrs. Pteranodon has some explaining to do?
I can’t believe it’s the middle of July. It seemed like camp season was so far away and now we’re already in our second week. Vacation bible school was a huge hit. On her last day, Bella was really sad it was over. I hope she has just as much fun this week.
What have I been doing during camp? Last week I was close enough to go home and work. The next few weeks I’ll be hitting the coffee shop circuit with my creative journal to get some writing done and new projects planned.
