This morning my little first-born, who is now a big boy, set off for his first day of day camp. Yikes! I'd kind of been dreading this day for a while but he has been counting down.  This day camp is a week-long nature discovery adventure.  Nathan will be spending most of his week swimming, learning about wildlife and tye-dying.  Yes, tye-dying!  He's so thrilled about the last part!  This week they're also scheduled to learn about creek ecology, bird identification, fishing, flower identification, fossils, lizards, rockets, and more!  A 6 year-old boy's dream camp.

I signed him up way back in March or April on the advice of a good friend of mine and we haven't looked back since!  Everyone I have ever talked to has said their kid has just completely raved about this camp and has had the best time there.  So, I think we made a wise choice!

This morning I slathered him up with sunscreen, sent him off with his eco-friendly bug spray, said a prayer, and watched him go off and be the independent soul he is.  This should be a very interesting week! ♥
