Home Camp Awesome!

A few days ago we dropped off our eldest daughter for her first overnight camp.  She was SUPER excited about the week, but her little brother Josh was less than thrilled to be left hanging at home. [ Note to self: pay close attention to opening "sign up" camp dates next year! ]

Still, moping over disappointments is not a long-term viable option, so we've decided to make our own incredible week.  Josh thought it would be great to share these ideas with you, so I've given today's post over to him.

Here's what he thinks makes an awesome week!

# 1 Legos, legos, legos

Assemble. Disassemble.  Make movies with the mini-figures.  Build crazy worlds and have adventures!

# 2 Movies

Watch as many adventure and/or Marvel movies as possible, especially since Ellie hates seeing them!

# 3 Eat out at favorite restaurants

This pretty much means eating at Moes & Willy's exclusively.

# 4 Have friends over

Even if it means putting on sunscreen, it's worth it!

Legoland, a pool, and a puppy are pretty much all you need to have an amazing week!
