Welcome to Camp Mommy

When camp is too expensive and driving carpools has got you in over your head, what do you do?

You do it yourself.

Welcome to Camp Mommy. My boys are going to camp, my girls would have been over $2500 to send both of them, so we decided to make a summer of it, inasmuch as I haven't found a summer job either.

Let's start with resources: That would be me, my van, and I.
Campers: I will call them, Thing 1 and Thing 2. Thing 1 is almost 10 and Thing 2 just turned 5. There is also Thing A, aka Fudge, but I can't call her a camper (I could call her other things though, but I digress....)

Let us start with Day 1.

We went to the Mitchell Park Domes . It was the littlest camper who thought of the idea. and it was a good one.
Since it was raining and the Domes are free to residents on Monday mornings, we started there. Bringing with us crayons and paper to capture the essence of the scenery and beauty of the foliage, and some snacks to eat in case things got, you know, boring. When I figure out how to upload pics from the camera we will have some less generic art up here.
