Cameron had a chance to visit the Zoo To You with his Grandma. Of all the kids present, Cameron was selected to come up and touch the lizard. Pretty cool, especially since he didn't raise his hand to be chosen. He was just sitting there watching when he was called up.
Shortly before Nathan went in to the hospital (Aug 3rd) to have his ileostomy reversed, Kelvin had a BBQ at his place for the staff.
We were invited to swim in the pool, but I didn't want to blind anyone with my pasty ass. Cameron, however, having not yet developed a sense of humility, dove right in! Michelle, having a healthy sense of parental responsibility, joined him. I took my usual position of cameraman and enjoyed the dryness of the sidelines.
After the swim (or controlled near-drowning) Cameron tried his hand at soccer.
I was hoping to post the video we made before now, but I got sidetracked and then life happens.
As a surprise, Michelle packed up our dinner and we headed down to the Lake for a picnic.
I think this was the first time that Cameron saw a seagull up close – he seemed to be amazed with the birds.
I still get a kick out of how he interacts with other kids. The older kids always seem to be doing neat things that he wants to try. There was a kid playing on a playground toy that Cameron wanted to play with. It seemed as though Cam misdirected the other child's attention to another toy so Cameron could play with the one the other kid was playing with.
