I'm not sure if any of you other parents get a kick out of messing with your kids, but Dean and I live for it!! Back around the end of December, we broke the news to them that we had signed them up for math camp - five days of mathematic fun with homeschoolers from around the nation. Pack yo bags, peeps!! It's going to be a blast!!!!
The news brought mixed reviews from Team Robinson. The teens were less than happy. What kind of homeschoolers wouldn't want to go to math camp?!? One of my peeps asked me what math is, which concerned me a bit since we work the numbers every.single.day. There were several excited shouts and an abundance of bouncing at the word camp, but overall I didn't get the response I thought we would. Bahahahahahah!!!!
The funny thing is, we really weren't going to math camp. We only told the kids we were to mess with their heads. Hee hee. That's just the way we roll!! The plan was really to take the team here. And it was AWESOME!
Our little campers had matching t-shirts and everything, thanks to Uncle Larry. Our master trickery was really a joint effort with our faves, Larry and Laura Lea. It was a hoot! We packed the pencils and notebook paper and made it all the way to the front of the hotel without a one of them suspecting a thing. Well, one of theirs suspected something since this isn't the first time Larry and Laura Lea have pulled a fast one on their little scholar, but it was fun just the same.
I love this little video clip, although I hate that you can hear my voice laughing like a goofy goober.....The audio isn't great....oh, and Tate is totally not listening because he's changing out of his math camp t-shirt the whole time.
So, the moral of the story is, if you want to spend several weeks messing with your kids' heads followed by five days of amazing fun, tell them you're taking them to math camp and then take them to Wilderness at the Smokies instead. Wavepooling, body surfing, water sliding, and Sky hiking beats math camp any ole day!! Oh, and then - because your kids are all out for the night by 7:30 - you get to spend hours talking, laughing, sharing, drinking coffee, dreaming and casting visions with some of your favorite people in the whole wide world. Math camp is AMAZING fun!!
