Summer Camps

The kids each attended a summer camp the same week.  The little man did a theater camp where they learned a short musical play called Yertle the Turtle, based on the story by Dr. Seuss.  They made the sets, learned lines and songs, and had a great time.  At the end of the week, family and friends got to see the show.

They made their set by recycling materials

and they had some extra turtles for effect

Here are the kids, including that cute tall kid playing the part of Yertle.

Hey.  Who invited them????

He had a great time.

The camp that Morgan went to was a creative writing and drama camp.  They went around the city with their teachers doing various projects all week.  They wrote short stories and poems, they created skits and songs, did sculptures... and at one point, they were in a park and decided to have a water fight.  One of the kids decided it might be fun to include 2 passing police officers in the water fight.  Surprisingly, they didn't mind and joined in.  Crazy kid.  I blame the parents... specifically, my wife. :)

At the end of the week, they also had a presentation of all of their creativity.  It was in the Champs de Mars park right beside the Eiffel Tower.  Everyone brought food and drink while the kids supplied the entertainment.

At the end, there were hugs for the other kids, as well as for their teacher.

Man, do these guys show up to everything????
