Good morning, O-Fam!
I am enjoying sitting and drinking coffee ATM since I was on my feet for almost 8 hours straight yesterday. Most of that was outside in 87* and humid weather. It was one of the first days I got home from work, took off my boots, and really felt how tired my feet were.
I was with the 2nd-5th Grade Summer Camp again but this group had a very different dynamic than the one we had last week. That one was pretty chill and enjoyed nature. A bunch of these kids were a little "aggressive," especially when it came to observing the frogs. We keep telling them to keep their nets away, and I gasped out loud when one of them smashed the net over the frog and flung it out of the water. The frog, that is-- I could have cared less about the net.
Highlight of the day-- we were out behind the main building at one of the fire circles. The counselor was giving directions to the kids for a game. I see the Mama bear and her 4 cubs walking in the woods just beyond the clearing. I calmly say, I think we need to go inside. Get your stuff and line up. Thankfully, they listened to that pretty quickly. The cubs must be about 3 months old now. Gotta say if I didn't have kids with me, I would have loved to watch them a little longer. She was far enough away and moving further along into the woods. I miss seeing cubs around my house. So cute and all roly-poly!
Dinner at my next-door neighbor's was a lot of fun. Also bittersweet when we gave my friend a card and a Visa gift card and she started to cry. Our other neighbors were there with their daughter, who is 15 months old and so stinkin' cute.
Today is going to be a lot of different projects and chores and all that good stuff. First up is yoga, then grocery pickup. Oh yeah--I have to rearrange my fridge before I head out for that. Then it's housework/desk work/Weis work/Oscraps work. If I have time/energy and it isn't too hot, yard work to end the day.
On that note, I should post this, do quick personals, and then off to my yoga mat!
