Swim Day Long Day

​Today was exhausting, but a good day overall.

​We started off at work trying out a new game with the kids involving cones and bear crawls/crab walks. It went well enough to keep in the rotation as a quick filler activity before bigger games on Game Days.

​After that, the kids went swimming. We had the pool area to ourselves for most of the time! The slide was closed, which bummed a few kids out at first, but they got over it quickly. Post-swim, we headed to Enso for snack time and introduced another new game. It took a little explaining and a minute for the kiddos to catch on, but it went well. We’ll definitely give it another shot on Friday.

​When I got home, I put in two more hours of yard work and knocked out some requirements after that. I’m pretty wiped from the last two days. Only three more days of summer camp left—not that anyone is counting! 😃

​Hope everyone is feeling good, strong, and a little smarter so far.
