Camp Invention

This past week Sam attended Camp Invention. This is an award winning, nationally recognized summer program, and Sam's 3rd grade teacher recommended that he attend. But I pretty much realized that I did not have another Thomas Edison or Bill Gates I my hands when I saw this "invention."

The assignment was to create a superhero. I think the kids were supposed to learn how things can morph/change properties, senses, physics, etc. Well, my little genius sticks googly eyes into some green clay and comes up with the superhero of "Geico Money" and it's power is apparently "saving you money with GEICO." Now, if you don't get this, congrats to you for living a TV free life, because if you have watched any TV over the past year you have undoubtedly seen these ads.
So at the conclusion of this camp week, combined with the week that Sam spent at Ice Skating camp, we have learned the following: Don't waste any more money trying to enrich Sam's life with summer camp!
