There has been all sorts of summer camp drama at Casa del Guillermo. We signed him up to go to a familiar summer camp...one where he has been before (ahem). But, when went to the open house they had yesterday, we were majorly disappointed. They moved to a new location, and it was crappy. They didn't do nearly the activities that we had expected, and it just had a yucky vibe. I usually tend to emotionally react to places and freak out and Steve is all, "it's fine, you're a weirdo - calm down," so I count on him to reign me in. Well, Steve pulled me aside and was like, "I DO NOT LIKE THIS PLACE - I do not want Wm here." That was when I knew it was bad. Buuuuuut, summer camp starts, like, NOW.
We knew a couple of Wm's favorite friends from kindergarten went to a summer camp that is, literally, across the street from us (through the back yard). And we'd heard really good things. I had actually called them in February, but they were full all the way back then! So, in a panic, I called them just to see...I figured it couldn't hurt. Well - they had an opening!!!! Someone had canceled last week! I JUMPED on it and signed Wm up! We'll lose a significant deposit we put down at the other place, but...screw it. Wm is going to have a great summer now!
The new place has a bunch of kids from his kindergarten - including his two best friends. Every week they take the kids to the library, the pool, and on a field trip! The first week is "Safari Week" and the kids go to the zoo for their field trip. The second week is "Bug Week" and they go to the Franklin Park Conservatory. The people there were SUPER nice and Wm is so excited to go!!! Steve and I feel SO MUCH better!
