Camp and Hospital

CAMP PICTURES....



Me at nature camp with mom's two year old class!

Mom, Lisa and I spent this past week at nature camp, which is a one week camp for the preschool kids. Mom's class is two year olds and it was HOOOOTTT this week.... 105 on some days! We stayed in the shade for the most part and had lots of water fun each day to keep cool. The preschool camp was in the mornings and then after a short lunch we went to the city camp and cooled off in the office... I was exhausted from the hot two's nature camp each day that I snored really loud a few times in mom's city office! In the evenings mom would go out to where the kids were and bring me and the kids just loved me and one time mom walked out to chat real quick to a counselor while I stayed in her office and the kids were all asking "where is poppy???" They just love me :) Mom was so impressed with me one day...(of course when is she not!), however she has a walkie talkie for camp that they use to communicate and she did not really train me on it since they don't use it that often with mom...but one night she was home and the walkie talkie was in the kitchen table and she was in her office in the house and one of the counselors was trying to reach her by calling her name and making music alerts on the walkie talkie.. Well I just went to her office and alerted her and took her to the kitchen area and she was sooooo surprised that I alerted her to that sound!! A sound that I have not even been trained to get her for.. But I just new she needed to get to that walkie talkie to help the counselor! We are very glad that nature camp is now over and we will now start working full time at the city (mostly in the office--ahhh air conditioning!) for the next 5 weeks. We were supposed to go to Disneyland the week of July 1st but with the twins complications we decided to postpone to maybe August so instead I will be in the Morgan hill 4th of July parade with the city camp kids, mom and Lisa!! Will share pics of that too!

In the hospital

We visited aunt cyndee in the hospital many times and then she got to go home Friday but then Saturday morning she started having complications again and wound up back in the hospital so we went and saw her again today... Saturday. We just keep praying that the babies will hold on a few more weeks until it is time to be born.

Well we are off for our evening walk...

Wags and Licks!
