Day 1: Morning

The kiddo has showered, dressed, eaten, made a lot of banging noise in his room, basically stripped his bed of its sheets and blankets, and is ready to hit his favorite indoor playground, Swings & Wings, in just a bit.

Camp Director Nana has sliced about 50 grapes and popped them in the freezer for later (when the camper gets denied another popsicle and wants to be upset about it), remade the bed, confiscated a candle that must taste as good as it smells, served breakfast, burned 700,000 calories going up and down the stairs that many times, caught up on some work that flew out the window Monday, settled the angry cat, searched frantically for the strangely quiet dog (he's napping, because camp is exhausting), and is reaching for her first dose of caffeine for the day.

It's about to be 1000am. What could possibly go wrong?
