Last week at Galileo camp. Look at that big smile. She loves this camp so much!

Lola loves the leaders there.

She made a new friend as usual.

Eden and her team leader...who had nothing but wonderful things to say about Eden. She shows off her city of china. She built this city to with stand an earthquake. Yes, they even tested it for 30 seconds...Cool stuff!

The girls have been busy but having such a great time in camps. They began their summer with Camp Oakland Zoo. Which was really fun as usual. They got to be in the same Nature play group together. Molly has been going to camp with Eden since kindergarten. They even get to go to Camp Galileo together .
Next up, Camp Galileo for two weeks. In between that we celebrated the 4th of July. We went to the Orinda parade and then BBQ at Everett and Jones in Jack London Square in Oakland. It was a really fun hot day. Eden was pretty sick though that day. She bounced back the next day just in time for Galileo camp. We had a playdate with Molly at our home and they had a pool party.
The last camp the girls attend is Girl Scout camp. We have no pics of this one. It's a secretive camp almost. We just get to pick up and drop off. They love that camp because they do archery, make their own lunches over camp fires, and make ice cream and snow cones.
This summer has been such a blast! I am enjoying it as much as the girls. It's all about relaxing, enjoying the sun and spending more time together...less schedules. It's really wonderful.
