Dylan is now experincing his second day of summer camp and enjoying the break away from the Nintendo! LOL! (I doubt that, I’m sure he dreams at night about which guy he is going to use to defeat some other guy). Yesterday they played all day at the lake, in the pool and at a waterslide - ROCKIN’ CAMP man! When I went to camp as a teenager they gave us a pocket knife and a rock and told us to go sit on a stump and sharpen the knife for a few hours - good times baby, good times. My poor pale as snow boy came home very burned on his back and splotchy on the rest of his arms and face. Uneven application of sunscreen totally bites. I sprayed him down with aloe vera/lidocane spray, he had a massive headache last night and I’m thinking that he got kind of dehydrated out in the heat. I made him take a few more juice boxes and water bottles today just to be sure, don’t want him resorting to drinking any lake water! :) He’s having fun with his three best friends out there, they all got to be in the same group so you just can’t beat that! The communication between these boys frustrates the heck out of me. For instance I had Dylan ask one of them who attended the same camp last year what they did for activities and if he had a good time. The answer was “um, I don’t remember”. Or when they talk on the phone it’s “hi, it’s Dylan. You know that part on the Yu-gi-oh game where some guy crushes some other guy with his powers? I’m in that spot of the game. Bye”
Where’s the communication? Where’s the getting to know your friends? Do kids talk about anything besides games and movies these days? Maybe it’s just being boys and I can’t relate? Help me here, I’m so lost and I’m not THAT old and out of date yet.
