The Cousins are Coming!

Next week we host the cousins for a week of Wilmot Sports Camp and fun fun fun!

They came last summer for 2-1 week sessions of Sea World camp and that was wonderful. This year, because they are going to Scotland, we will be hosting them for only one week and then Ellie/Sagan will go spend a week with them in August (while we cruise).

I have already planned menus (Yes, Type A) and they will enjoy some fun activities in the Orlando area. We have a new water park, Coco Key, that Ellie has been dying to try. It's a part of a hotel.

We will also do the Dr. Phillips splash park, YMCA pool with the red rocket slide, and other fun water activities to cool off in the afternoon.

I am hoping that I will not be too uptight next week when they come. I run the house with a lot of structure and expect the best table manners. I actually have to leave the room when the children eat together otherwise they will be stressed. I joke that they go home with a tic and night terrors due to my strict household requirements.

Just to the opposite when Ellie and Sagan go to Richard and Pauline's they come home with the worst behaviors. Richard takes great pride in undoing what I work so hard to instill in the girls. From eating junk food (When Sagan was a baby she would follow Uncle Richard around the house as he held a 3lb bag of M and M's.Can you picture that? Like the Pied Piper of Hamilin but with a bag of sugar.) to belching the alphabet as loud as one can.

We shall see!
