Miles: Wait… we'll get to that. We have to go in order.
Today we went to the YMCA Day Camp again. At first when we went there, we were sort of surprised because they told us just to go to the Y and play with the kids. But the Y staff seemed to be doing a good job at that.
Connor: Oh! We have to include the White Castle and the incredible pains we had in our intestines because of the gas. And how I ran out of toilet paper…
Ned: And I had to rescue him…
Miles: Back to our story. The boys and I sat at the table with the kids and we quickly fell in love with them because they were really cute and just attached to us within a minute. They asked us if they could come home with us.
We played with them and broke up fights. Sometimes they deserved it. But we played Knockout on the basketball court at the park, soccer in the parking lot against the fence, cards and board games under the pavilion…. And of course, every day includes lots of water fights. It starts right away in the morning and goes pretty much all day long. The Y counselors bring it on with water balloons they give to the kids.
We did other things to help out at the Y too. Ned watered flowers. Dalia and Maggie cleaned the girls' locker room.
Dalia: I squeegee-ed!
Nick: And Miles gave something like fifty piggy back rides. All our necks are really sore.
Miles: One kid is an awesome chess player...
Maggie: One girl told me that you can't curse because if you curse, it means you haven't gone to high school and all your teeth are going to fall out.
Miles: We definitely have a crew of kids!
