Our neighborhood sweetheart lifeguards, Hannah and Jory, began something new this summer. In between swimming sessions, they have offered a summer camp for kids where they would spend an hour teaching the children how to play fun outdoor group games in addition to other sports like soccer, basketball and football.
We allow one camp/activity a summer for our kids in addition to swimming lessons and when we saw a sports camp was being offered just down the street from us, we knew it would be perfect for Calvin.
He has had so much fun with this and I love that he's been able to do something all by himself!
Today was the last day of camp. When I went to pick him up a few minutes ago, Jory came over to the car and said that they had just been playing on the grass with Calvin (who was, embarrassingly, the last child to be picked up!) All of a sudden there was a fire truck coming up the road, complete with its lights and siren going full blast. (I had actually heard it at home!) She said that when Calvin heard the fire truck, he quickly spun around and smiled and waved to the fire fighters.
Jory and Hannah were stunned when they saw the fire truck actually slow down (with the lights and siren on, on their way to some place important) so Calvin would be sure to see them. Every single one of those big men all smiled and waved back at him.
Jory and Hannah said it was the cutest thing. They had never seen anything like it before.
Calvin's charm apparently doesn't just stop shows...he all but stops emergency vehicles as well!
