This past weekend was a bit busy.
On Saturday, after swim class we headed to Brooklyn to visit a bit. My dad will be leaving on a month long motorcycle trip across the country and we wanted to see him before he hit the road. Dave and grandpa took the kids fishing and swimming, and my mom and I kicked it around the house. After dinner Dave and grandpa headed to the store to try their hand at Mai Tai’s, so my mom and I took the kids to get ice cream and then to the park. Win-win.
Noomi also found some of Emily’s old stuffed animals and insisted on bringing two home. One was a dinosaur that I remember Emily carrying around nonstop with her when she was about 6 or so. How cute is that?
On Sunday, we hung at the house, did a bit of cleaning and then spent a few hours in the pool. The kids LOVE the “big” pool, lol. Ajax asked if we were fancy. I told him, no dude, no one would call us fancy. I guess I should’ve asked what he meant by fancy.
Today was the first day of summer camp for the kids via the YMCA. Noomi is at Camp Hugabee and Ajax is with Camp Pawapi. Both kids had a great day, though Noomi was hesitant to let me go this morning. Ajax actually knew a few kids that were at camp as well, so that was nice. One parent that was dropping off also commented that his older daughter’s name was Noomi! Turns out they were from Sweden and he explained that the name is quite popular there. He was also impressed that we spelled it correctly. Ajax had a great time and told us about canoeing, archery, and climbing a rock wall. What a first day!
