Kites and Rockets… Day 584 21JUN10

This week both Joshua and Jarrod are doing separate day camps. Joshua is attending Kite Camp at the Children's Cancer Center and Jarrod is going to a LEGO Mindstorm Robotics camp at HCC in Brandon. It was an early start this morning for all of us but we got everyone where they needed to be when they were supposed to be there.

Joshua had a great first day and came back all happy and full of energy. They decorated cupcakes, played, and spent the afternoon at Gameworks in Ybor playing video games. He is a member of Team Firecracker and has already made several friends.

Jarrod was really excited about his day learning about and programming LEGO robots. He is learning all about robotics and how to control them. Each day he and a team member have a challenge to complete and they must design, build, and program their own robot to complete the test. They do all their design work on the computer and then upload it to the robot. Jarrod has already decided he wants to go back next summer and attend the advanced session of camp.

The evening was quiet and we finally got some rain… Yeah! Too bad it had to come with a pretty intense pyrotechnic component. But we are thankful for any rain we can get right now.

Tomorrow we get up early and deliver our campers to their respective locations. Should be another fun filled days for both of the boys.

Hey Snuggle Monkey,

Thank God for the rain! Hope the fireworks were entertaining and not damaging. And send some of that rain North please.

Glad to hear camp was fun for you. You could make friends anywhere!

Jarrod - I am so excited about your Lego camp. It sounds like the perfect place to challenge and hone your skills.

Keep kickin butt Mighty Warrior. You are my Champion.

Tons of Love, Hugs and Kisses,

Nonna
