The zoo was great yesterday, especially in retrospect when I've forgotten how hot it was! We saw almost everything, and were grateful it wasn't too crowded and the misters were on. If you haven't been there lately, they have added some really cool things - the new lion habitat and the marsh boardwalk were my favorites. I'm really excited for the beaver habitat, too, but it's not open yet. We have our camp shirts and we wore them yesterday - cute baseball-style font on the front that says "Clawson Childcare Center" and the back reads SUMMER 13 like a sports number. I'll keep them and wash them each week and the kids can take them home at the end of summer party. I'll tell you, I never fully understood how messy kids were until I washed 40 white t-shirts last night. Went through an entire bottle of stain remover!
I am leaving imminently for vacation, and I will be gone all next week and the next week Monday and Tuesday. I will return Wednesday, July 10. The good thing is that it's only five camp days, since we are closed next Thursday and Friday for the 4th of July. Please send all emails intended to me to Renay. If you do need me, I will still have internet access in the great north, but it will be limited. Mr. Brendt and Mr. Jackson will be in charge of the room!
