Dylan’s been in summer camp for the past 2 weeks and has been absolutely loving it. He’s gone on so many field trips — Main Beach, Happy Hollow in San Jose, Beckmann’s Bakery tour, Harvey West pool, local parks…It’s been a big step for us since this is the first time we’ve really entrusted other people to take Dylan to crowded public places without us! I don’t think we’ve even ridden the local county transit buses with him and he most certainly has never been driven over the hill to SJ without one of us!!
While he’s been there, Cameron and I have continued to do our own activities together — puppet shows at the local library, play dates with friends, etc. This past week, we went to the Boardwalk with Kaden and some friends (Kelly and her kids Kathleen and Kevin) whom we haven’t seen in quite some time.
We met at the carousel, so that was Cameron’s first ride.
We were also there to see the circus, so we stuck to rides that were close to the stage. Luckily for me (and Cameron!), Kelly’s friend’s daughter Maya was there and she could chaperone Cameron on a few rides, including Speedway.
Cameron also rode the spinny Star Fish ride (with Kevin and Maya). Good for me. I didn’t have to get on there!
Here are Cameron and Kaden sharing the stroller. Another lucky thing for me: lots of mommy help! Jenny pushed the stroller for us!
During the circus show, we all ate lunch on the beach. And, afterwards, we rode a few more rides. Cameron was pretty tired by then, so after a couple of rides on the Cave Train, we wrapped it up and went home!
