Serendipitous Timing

A has a potential trip lined up in the next few weeks, and it could last a couple of days. I think it would be fun and a great time, but that sort of leaves N all by his lonesome, or rather, with mom and dad. If the weather were nicer, he could spend more of it outside riding his bike or doing other fun things, but there is still a ton of snow, and there's only so much time a boy can spend with his mom or dad before they start to drive him crazy.

With that in mind, we were looking for an activity for him to take part in, and one came up. The local TV station is holding a spring video camp, and he said he was interested, or at least that he didn't hate the idea. Sometimes that's as good as it gets. This works out beautifully because not only does he get to work on something he enjoys and can be creative and enriching, but he's with other kids and doesn't have to hang out with his boring dad. How can you beat that?

We'll see how this goes, but for now, this is looking good. Plus, it's near the skate park, so as it warms up, we can break out the bike and skateboard. Before you know it, we'll hitting the mountain bike trails, but that's a story for another time.

Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Adrian Ace for the pic.
