Think back to when you were a little girl. I think I was in 3rd or 4th grade when "the talk" happened. The boys were sent to the gym and the girls were sent to the cafeteria. The boys spent the afternoon in the gym playing basketball. We spent the afternoon learning about puberty, more specifically periods. Then we were sent home with a little purple box with a few big bulky maxi pads. And that was it. Until you actually got your period. Back in the 80s periods were not a topic of ...

On the Second Day of Zoo Camp
Peyton made it through day 2! When I asked her about her day she said it was GREAT! She never got this excited about the school's day camp she was in all summer. So what did they do today?? Well, she learned about horses and penguins. Which happen to be two of her favorite animals. In the morning, farmer Bob taught her about his farm and how his horses work on the farm. Peyton was surprised the horses had to work! Farmer Bob let the kids pet Duke and told them all about Duke's responsibilities ...

On the First Day of Zoo Camp
Today was crazy! We are in that week before school starts but summer care has ended. I don't have the vacation time to take off work and spend the week with Peyton nor do I have family that I can pass her around to for the week. So I decided to send her to Zoo Camp!

Since I only needed a place for Peyton to go for a week I chose two half ...
