Last week of school! Last week of school! Yay!! We are so looking forward to being free from our computer and doing whatever we want to all day long! Friday is our official last day, even thought I already got Bella's report card a couple of weeks ago....hmmmm.
So, camping was amazing. It was relaxing and surprising. We had a total of 9 kids and it was ACTUALLY relaxing. They had such a great time. The only thing that was a little weird was the local wildlife. And by wildlife, I mean the squirrels and birds. One day we saw a squirrel chewing a hole in a neighbor's tent. First, I tried throwing some little sticks at him. But he and his gang brother buddy just turned and starred at me. I was afraid! Then, Todd tried sling-shotting a rock at it. He just ran- literally about 1 foot away, then walked right back to his tent chewing. They were scary and sort of gross. At the camp fire we told a progressive story about the rabid squirrels and Isabella had a bad dream about crazy squirrels that night. It was actually pretty funny....not the bad dream, but the whole squirrel issue. The last morning I saw the gang squirrel eating a dead mouse. And when Todd was doing the breakfast dishes, he threw the eggs into the bushes where the birds promptly swooped down to eat them up. There is definitely something wrong!!!!

The kids found a "hideout" in the trees where they spent almost the whole time. It was completely enclosed, almost like a cave of trees branches. There were no grown ups allowed.
Here is is:

Secret hideouts are the best. I try to find them in NYC, places only locals know (remember Chumleys?). Tee hee. The "wildlife" sounds bizarre but it's great to hear you all had a nice, relaxing time. Post more pictures if you can.
