Both Camp Oonie Koonie Cha and
Sawtooth Art Camp seem to be going well. Many new songs have been sung and a
papier mache dragon will accompany us back to the 505. I even exercised. And
then I took a nap. I love camp.
Me: Do you like Sawtooth better
than Harwood?
Karl: No, they are about the
same. But you get to do clay at Harwood.
Me: I think the two are arranged
differently. Clay is a different week here.
Karl: Yeah, but at least there is
no acting. I’m done with acting. From now on I’m sticking with comedy.
Since both camps are half-day,
we’ve been exploring the town in the afternoon.
Monday was spent at the Stratford pool, a favorite from last year. Billy
remains a drowning risk. At least he’s consistent.

Yesterday we visited SECCA
(Southeastern Center for Contemporary Arts) at one of the Hanes homes. Being
both a touching and bumping hazard, the kids were tailed fairly heavily in the
art museum. It didn’t help that one of the special exhibits was glass
sculpture. Overall, the art was better than expected – especially the paper
sculptures - and I felt good about ensuring job security for the guards.
We then visited Wake Forest
University. We drove through the campus,
briefly visited the Museum of Anthropology where they have the largest Mancala
game I’ve ever seen and where Billy threw the biggest fit of losing I’ve ever
seen, and finished the day in several magnolia trees.
Today, while most of the kids
were at camp, we looked through Dear’s costume jewelry and all of my mother’s ‘junk’
jewelry. I knew that extra space in one of the suitcases would come in handy. Karl
ended up looking like a mashup of Buddy Holly and Eminem before we were done. It also turns out Mom kept
all my theme jewelry from the 80s. I am now the proud re-owner of zipper
earings, Budweiser earrings, and some very big giraffe earrings.
In the afternoon, the kids held a
lemonade stand where they made a whopping $10.61.
Katie: Customer Service
Lindsay: Counter Help
Karl: Accountant
It was almost too hot for even
lemonade, but the shoppers were generous with tips.
