Mr. Jesse can you put me on the black cow?

Today was another good day at camp. I don't know if the kids are being good because camp is new or if they are being good because we have instilled fear on them. Either way, I'm not complaining at the moment. I hope it is the later reason though : )

Our field trip today was to the Arboretum Park and Amy's Ice Cream. The kids were super excited about the ice cream part. I didn't think I had been to arboretum park, but to my dismay I had. All it is 5 giant marble cows, a fountain, and some benches. The kids went crazy for the cows. I spent most of the morning hoisting little people up top of cows. It was funny to hear their conversation on top of the cows. Some were telling of adventures in far off lands while others were wondering how their cow would taste. It was nice to let their imaginations run wild above an over-sized ceramic big mac.

After that we headed to Amy's Ice cream. It went a lot smoother than I expected. We only gave the kids the choice between Dutch Chocolate and Texican Vanilla, then they got to add 2 crush ins. Can you guess the 2 most popular crush ins? M & M's and Rainbow Sprinkles! We had a lot of multicolored smiles by the time we finished there. Amy's is such a great place. The lady there who was helping us was so patient. She was a whole lot of woman, but she worked that counter like an well oiled machine. I was impressed at how fast she was able to take the order, scoop the ice cream, add the crush in, and served it to the kids.

By the time we got back to the center the sugar had fully enter the kids blood stream, luckily it was time for my lunch break! I went home to let Mia out. She did her business and then we snuggled on the couch. She was a little stinky so I decided to give her a bath. She of course was not a happy camper. She kept trying to escape, good thing she is a little pup and I have a garden sized tub. After the bath she ran away from me. That forced me to chase her around the apartment with a towel. As I was trying to towel her off she squirmed out of the towel and went between my legs. As I was turning Mia jumped and bit me in the butt! It made me laugh. Then she took off around the couch. The next 10 minutes was dedicated to Mia dodging, ducking, diving, dipping, and dodging away from me. It was pretty cute.
