Keeping up with the Turners: Camps, Swim Lessons and VBS

The boys went to Y Camps this week. Gavin went to 1/2 day camp and Ian went to full day Y camp. They were at different locations, which was interesting in the morning with the drop off procedures. It's Christmas week at Gavin's camp, so there will be a special visitor arriving at the Y this afternoon! He doesn't know it though. The Director posts video links and pictures of the kids and what they are doing in camp on a Hub. I love that idea.

Twice this week I've picked Ian up from camp too early (mind you...in the morning he tells me to get him early). I guess when I get there they are about to start dodge ball. This afternoon parents are invited to watch a scrimmage. I'm looking forward to that.

Two days a week for a month they are in swim lessons. Gavin doesn't mind it, but Ian does. However, he knows this is the way it is...so he has stopped complaining. They both have the same teachers, but they go back-to-back in times.

This week was also VBS at our church at night. This was Ian's 4th time and Gavin's 1st. Ian and I thought it would be a good idea if I was with Gavin's "family" and I can be with Ian's group next year. I was impressed with how well Gavin participated (when I'm with him he doesn't always do what the other kids do). You can see in this picture he is next to his buddy! Attached at the hip the entire week! I liked my "family" and had 7 kids in it. I just led them to the various activities. It's my favorite volunteer spot during VBS! I like having the loudest group! ;-) We have cheers going to the different stations. The kids love it and it shows a lot of spirit!

The first night I had my camera, so I captured this photo of Ian when he was leaving the Marketplace. I was going to take more photos the last night, but we decided to let him stay home and get to bed early. He was pretty exhausted from the activities this week.
