This week, Oliver has had basketball camp at his school. He started off monday morning (and most of the previous weekend) with "I don't want to go to camp". We all walked him in on Monday morning, were greeted by the admissions officer at school, and off he went. Needless to say, he has loved it. Playing lots of different games, and skills associated with basketball. I think it has done him the world of good to be with kids his age, and away from his brother (and the Xbox) for a little while.

Tuesday morning was mundane, food shopping. But I did manage to find the time to take Isaac and Sen to the pool before we got Oliver. In the afternoon we had some friends round, which was nice for the boys to play, then headed to the pool, again, with Paul when he got home from work.

Today we have not done much. We met up with my friend at the park this afternoon, her children had miraculously multiplied in to 4 (she had her friends kids too), luckily enough they all go to Isaac's school, so there was good common ground. But it was too hot. We met at 3, and it was too hot. I don't foresee us going to many more parks in the afternoon until at least late August. Its funny, in England you spend all winter indoors as it is too cold. Here you spend the winter outside, and the Summer inside as it is too hot. Don't get me wrong, I am loving the heat. I don't think the boys have worn trousers since April. Pretty much the same for me.
Only 2 more sleeps till we head off on the epic drive. Nearly 500 miles from here to Orlando. Luckily the boys are used to being in the car for long journeys, all our trips to France have trained them well. This is a wee bit further, but seeing as they are already discussing which films they are going to watch on the way down, I think they will be fine. They are really excited, as am I. Been along time since I did Florida, 15 years in fact. I am looking forward to seeing it from a child's perspective, I think the boys are going to love it, and I can't wait.
Now I am off to make some goody bags for the trip!
