Camp Stimey & Camp Banshee combine forces

Stimey and her boys made the trek north of Baltimore to meet my boys and I at a local playground for a continuation of Camp Stimey Spring Break Sensory & Social Skills Special Session and my most humble Camp Banshee where unlike Camp Stimey's awesome Peep Diorama and day-trips inside the mouth of Poseidon we spend most of our time screaming wildly and gnashing our teeth.

Okay, maybe that's just me.

Stimey and I both came prepared with numerous snacks, juice boxes, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and magnifying glasses which everyone will be glad to know were NOT used to teach our sons how to set ants on fire. In fact, we were all having so much fun chasing our mutual children and attempting to keep them from running wildly away into another zip code chatting and relaxing on a park bench that we never had a chance to do any science experiments.

 Remember the sappy scene from Jerry Maguire where Renee Zellweger says, "You had me at hello"?
Well, Stimey had Noah when she said, "Bubbles"

 Then Noah found the sand pit and all was right in the world.

Sam continued to entertain with his various musical abilities using a stick and the playground equipment


Every A+ playground has 1 very important thing in common:
The super-duper-tall-Mommy-frightening Slide!

Jack and Noah were perfectly suited for one another with their mutual love of all things sensory including:  sand, bubbles, and twisty slides.


Sam watched some peers climbing this jungle gym and followed suit but thankfully did not attempt to slide down the firemen's pole in the center.
Something tells me that may take just a bit more motor planning than he is ready for.


I would have to say that our combination Stimey/ Banshee Camp was a roaring success and I am certainly looking forward to the next adventure that awaits our brood.
