Next week starts the official summer camp version of preschool for Nolan. I can't believe how many activities they are packing into June, July & August!
Once a week they are having "Dino Jump" day. Rather than try to explain that, here's a picture (Nolan is not in this picture so don't bother squinting at it too hard).
Below is a picture of the slide they had a few times last summer instead of the official jump. Personally, I think the slide looks like more fun! Nolan likes to bounce as much as possible on the way down - it's quite shocking how airborne such a little person can get.
Once a week they are having "Water Day", which is basically a sprinkler in the grassy part of the playground. I have to remember to buy closed-toe watershoes before next Friday. Although, the weather has only been in the 60's so far this month - I wonder if they will still have water day if it's this cold next week!
Two times a week they are having offsite excursions. This is the first year he is old enough to go on field trips! Just some of the places they are going to visit this summer: A real farm (complete with pony rides), bowling alley, petting zoo, rollerskating (he's never tried this before - I'm hoping Russ has time to take him for a practice whirl before the field trip comes up), lego land, the zoo, and various area parks. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? On top of that, we're signing him up for a special hands-on science class that is focused on flying - he will be making kites, toy airplanes, and the end-of-the-unit highlight: A rocket ship to launch outside!!!
The only problem is I wanted to set aside a few days this summer to do some cool things with him, just Mommy & Nolan. Now I have to think of something he isn't already doing with his class. I'm open to suggestions!
