Happy Campers

 The boys are going to day camp this week.  It's a traditional sort of camp where they do swimming, art projects (including pottery), archery, and that kind of thing.  They seem to be enjoying it so far!  They're in a group with one of their good friends from school (his parents run the camp).  These pictures are from our backyard, not camp -- the boys each get a turn bringing home their group's mascot (Spotty, the giraffe-asaurus).

One of the camp projects is collecting cans and bottles to raise money to adopt (sponsor) a zoo animal.  (Last year they adopted a tiger cub and a gorilla.) Matthew was a bit disappointed to find out that in this case, adoption does not mean that the animal comes to camp!
