Carter after his Stokes Critter Camp

Carter had a full and busy summer this year. Through June and July he participated in Fun in the Sun again. This year it was three days a week for 3 hours a day. Fun in the Sun is a program that the city does. They get to go on Field Trips, play games, and do fun activities. This is the third summer that Carter has done it. I thought by now he would be sick of it, but he really enjoyed it again this year.

The last week of July Carter went to a Critter Camp up at the Stokes Nature Center. He LOVES animals and bugs so I knew this would be right up his ally. He had so much fun! The camp went all day Tuesday through Thursday, then on Thursday they slept over and stayed until Friday afternoon. They got to do a lot of hiking, learned about different critters, fed hummingbirds, and wrote in their camp journals. I was a little nervous to have him sleep over, but he insisted that he wanted to and that he would be fine. He was right, he did just great! When I came to pick him up on Friday he was still in his pajamas and I asked why he hadn't gotten dressed. His leader said that he didn't want to, and kinda chuckled. I think she learned pretty early on that Carter has a mind of his own and won't do anything that he doesn't want to do! Sometimes it's not worth the battle!
