Safari Fun at Summer Camp

This week at summer camp, Nicholas made his own safari outfit which includes a hat, vest, and binoculars. Today the group went on a safari hunt on the playground where they had to find lots of little plastic animals that had been hidden around the yard. Nicholas has really enjoyed summer camp and I can't believe that I almost didn't sign him up for it.



In honor of his safari, we took Nicholas out to eat at The Rainforest Cafe for dinner. It's a cool restaurant in a jungle setting with leaves, trees, flowers, and vines covering the walls and ceiling. Throughout the restaurant, there are life size animals that come to life and start moving and making their animal noises. Nicholas had a great time and even got a balloon sword.



After dinner, we walked around the mall and found some cool stand up cut outs of Nicholas' favorite movie characters - Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca. They were only $35 and I thought about getting one to put on his bedroom wall since he does have a space theme. However, I think it might be a little scary to wake up in the middle of the night and see Darth Vader staring at you from across the room. I think I'll pass on that idea.

Next we headed to the bookstore. Our whole family loves the bookstore. Stuart looked at photography magazines while Nicholas and I played in the children's section. Then Stuart looked at children's books with Nicholas while I looked at crafting books.
