More Camp

We are getting back into the groove of our lives in VT and just like that, we are shipping the kids off to clown camp, though this one is more manageable. It’s actually a great camp, they did it last year, where a lot of kids they know attend and they have a blast learning and performing. It’s only a half day, as well, so not only is it close, but it’s not as crazy.

I think we went a bit overboard with camp this Summer, but A&N had so much fun, and they are able to hang with their buddies and pursue/develop some interests, making it all worthwhile. I hate the idea of becoming the parent who over-schedules their child, but the process of discovering what interests them is exactly that, a process, and like any process, there is always an initial period of chaos before you find a direction that speaks to you. While this may be difficult to believe, it’s not just about farming the kids out to get them out of your hair. Anyone who knows us would know that this is true.

Either way, I think August will be a more sane month, but that could be just wishful thinking. Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Ben Smith for the pic.
