Camp

I just finalized CityBaby's summer camp plans. It brings back so memories for me. It's only day camp and he's not even 2 but I know it'll be the start of the lifelong friendships he'll make and the memories he'll create. I recently connected with my camp online as an alumni and have been receiving emails and updates about their goings on. My father and brother both attended the same camp, as well as many of my other relatives. I enjoy seeing the progress it has made. And recognizing the landmarks of my youth. I am also amazed at the innovation. You can email your child and watch them via webcam. I remember when pre-printed stationery with check off boxes (the weather is....warm, the counselors are...nice) was de rigueur. For the sake of the current campers I hope they chosen to hire a cleaning staff (I hated the chore wheel) and improved upon the kosher cheese - that stuff was scary. Now that his summer plans are finalized, I'm off to order name tags that I'll affix to everything he owns.
