Perna and Mocha, that's EXACTLY what we've been looking at yesterday. I would like to get some sort of bamboo fence or something, right now we only have a chain length, and rather than try to replace that, I want something that can be attached to it that is tall enough. We live in a small town and we looked everywhere available yesterday, so I guess I'll be ordering off of amazon or something.
And we are doing the camp thing. He wants to try the swim team, so they have this 2 week conditioning camp thing to see if he likes it enough to commit to doing it competitively.
Oh Mocha I just read your last paragraph. That actually made me laugh out loud. I guess when I was a kid I always had my brothers and sister with me whenever I played with anyone and they (my friends) always had their siblings with them. I know that if one of my brothers or sister wasn't allowed to play with someone, my mom wouldn't have let me play with that person at all. (My mom is a really, really bad example of good parenting, so I could be totally off base with this whole thing.) I have asked a few people with more than one kid and they all agreed that they most likely wouldn't let one play if the other couldn't. I guess this is mostly to spare the parents the trouble of having the other kid being upset and feeling left out (which I don't want to do to her, but I am so freaking tired of her meanness!). I really feel like whatever I chose I am going to screw this situation up.
