Mommy Camp

After CYJ ended but before the return to paid programming, Gabi and Ethan spent a few days at Camp Mom. We had daily field trips, nutritious food options (?), afternoon rests, and a high camper satisfaction rate.

Our first afternoon took us to Chipotle for lunch. These perfect angels were perfect, of course.

Next up: Field trip to the pool!



The next day took us on a field trip to the Austin Aquarium!

Mommy Camp tickets came with tokens to be able to feed and pet sting rays!


We enjoyed our encounters with the macaws and parrots:



We met 21-year-old Sparty the tortoise who walked around the facility freely with a balloon (so he wouldn't get stepped on).


We were excited to see Ethan's favorite animal, otters:


We spent time in the aviary with a diverse collection of interesting birds:




Anyone can engage in a staring contest with a large iguana. Few can win.

The parakeet encounters amused each of us.





Mommy Camp included time for the brain and soul:
