The Crowning Moment of the "last" day

McDonald's, Here We Come

We don't go to McDonald's very often. This is a special treat. We love it.

Yummy hamburger !

The french fries aren't too bad either.

Ronald, do you want a piece?

We are dying to to to the play center. but we have to finish our lunch first. Ronald wants to sit beside us to keep us company.

Ronald is such a nice guy. He lets me sit on him!

iFinally, we can play in the play house!

This is quite a machine. It turns the balls around

Yeye, where are you?

I am inside the racing car going 250 miles an hour.

Funny, we came out of the tubes at the same time, good timing.

I am in the truck hauling dirt. Watch out, the dirt is coming down!

This is so fun. I just can't get away from it.

I'm dashing down inside the tube.

Too bad, it's time to leave. But we had a great time. What shall we do next? Yeah, we are going to the Kenduskaeg stream.

A Day at Day Camp

A Morning at Camp Peirce Webber

7:30 a.m., Downeast School. The buses have come. Which one is ours?

Here we go, mama made sure we are safely on the bus.

'Bye bye' mama, see you later!

First stop, Bangor Y at Hammond Street. After roll call inside the Y, we come back out to get onto the bus with our counselor. Here's the youngest group, that's us.

On the road, we are almost there!

Finally, entering Camp Peirce Webber.

Off the bus to our gathering area. Where is Ethan?

We have to listen to our counselors every morning.

Let's just follow the crowd.

Off we go to our 'house' to put down our stuff.

Then it's snack time in the shade before we start the day.

Grapes, so refreshing!

More instruction, we have to listen.

Oops, he raised the flag upside down! He had to do it again!

Snack time is over, let's do something else.

I'm ready for the "Green Light, Red Light" game, got to listen carefully and be prepared!

It's Green Light, I'm running. Where is Isaac? He didn't want to play.

Wow, we can take a short rest now.

Oops, we both had to see our counselor. I scratched Ethan quite good under one eye.

Our fun playground during free time.

Just because the counselor said to go to the playground, must I? I didn't want to. Why didn't everyone else wait till I want to go before they leave? I cried and cried, and my counselor had to come back to get me. I have a hard time following instruction sometimes.

Another counselor had to talk to me.

So now I decided to join in the fun.

It was a lot of fun, I don't know why I didn't just make the right choice at the start.

I love following what Ethan does.

I am agile!

I just can't quite do everything Ethan does.

But I can get on the swing myself!

See, I did it!

Oh, the joy of running in the open, so free!

Sliding down this big slide is exciting.

The counselors trying to keep cool in the shade.

Here, I am crying again to see the counselor.

What is the matter now, Isaac?

The outdoor pool where we swim every day.

Good thing we just finished swimming lesson, not as scary.

One, two, three, jump. . . I need to hang onto someone.

My teacher is helping me to get ready for a back float. But no noodle?

We need a break from the water!

One, two , three, go. . . I am brave!

Not so bad once in the water

Oops, got to hold onto my swimming trunk!

Time to dry up like Isaac earlier; it has been fun though.

This is for real !!

Ever since day camp started, our Lego box plus all our toys have magically disappeared. Yeye said Mama will wave her magic wand tonight, and everything will MAGICALLY appear again on Saturday morning. We shall see, shall we not? We have developed a love for books from the library. I should REALLY spend some quality time with Isaac. I read a couple of books to him. I really enjoyed it. It was a good bonding experience.

Ethan and Isaac do a lot of things together, such as playing house, using Lego pieces to build airplanes, and reading. Tonight, he actually read to Isaac. It was so cute. We had to take a picture of this memorable occasion.
