Week 2 at Camp Ma-Tov

Just finished our second week at camp and I am wiped out!!!  It’s been hot as hell outside and humid!  I’ve been spending most of my time on the tennis courts which are scorching hot.  I keep joking that I am going to take some eggs to fry on the courts but I haven’t yet. 

Meanwhile, the kids are having a blast.  Ben is really enjoying it the most.  Today he passed one part of the deep water test and won a hakarat hatov award.  Keren took her time getting used to the gan there.  She has a really nice girl taking care of her and another boy named Noam who is also her age.  She cried the first week but now she complains that she doesn’t want to go to camp but once we get there she happily takes her counselor’s hand and walks in the door.  The only thing is that she can’t see me during the day or she’ll freak out.  So I hide behind people and trees so she doesn’t see me.   All the working moms in camp kind of do the same thing.  Talia is having a nice time.  I don’t know that she’s having a great time but she’s having a nice time.  She likes her counselors and she’s made some new friends.  She also has tennis this year for the first time and I’ve taught her a few times and she seems to be a natural at it!!   I wonder where she gets it from!?!

Anyway, that’s what’s been going on here.  I’m getting bigger and rounder as the weeks go by but I can still squeeze into some of my regular sized t-shirts.
