Summer Break: Week Four

The kids were at camp at the Houston Arboretum last week. Will and Henry aren't huge fans of camp in general, but they love Nature Trekkers camp, which is full of hiking, hands-on activities, and getting dirty! An added bonus is that we just go in the mornings, so there is plenty of lazy time at home too. Last week's theme was "Wet and Wild," so the boys went pond dipping and fishing. The highlight of Will's week was actually getting in the pond, up to his waist, to help pull out lily pads that were taking over the pond. He could not stop talking about that service project. The boys had a great week at camp!  

When we weren't at camp, we played a lot of games, like chess and Monopoly.



On Thursday, we had a friend over for a playdate and spent the afternoon at the MFAH, where we visited galleries and worked on art projects.
 

These sculptures were inspired by The Hydrospatial City by Gyula Kosice. 


We could not miss the Shadow Monsters exhibit.


Henry's space utopia.



Will went to a birthday party on Saturday at Sky Zone. This boy is really good at dodgeball, but he also loved the foam pit.



And finally, I'll leave you with a picture of my toothless boy! Henry asked Gene to pull out his wiggliest tooth on Sunday night. Henry has been watching his friends lose teeth for years, and he's finally joining the toothless crowd. It's immensely exciting for a seven-year-old to finally have the Tooth Fairy visit his room.  


What a way to end the week!
