John has spent the past two summers at Briar Hill Camp in Freehold. I’m so glad that I found this place. This camp has all activities on the property, so I don’t have to worry about traveling for trips.

On Sunday Aunt Betty and I took the kids to the Adventure Aquarium in Camden. John led the way. He loves reading a map. We walked through the shipwreck exhibits. And we stopped at an amphitheater.

Mimi and Poppy took the kids to the Liberty Science Center yesterday. Mimi told me that the museum was huge and that they didn’t get to see everything or all the shows.
