My twin boys have easy fashion requirements when it comes to clothing. They're into soft t-shirts with cool graphics and absolutely no hardware of any kind (we're looking at you buttondown shirt). It takes my boys all of two minutes to get dressed. T-shirts, shorts and presto, they're ready for the day.
This summer has been the summer of the Camp Galileo t-shirt. It's become my boys' summertime uniform. They wear their light blue Camp Galileo "Stars" shirts nearly every day. I think my boys wax nolstaglic when they're in their Camp Galileo shirts. We went to camp and a good time was had by all.
My boys took away some incredible memories from their two week experience at Camp Galileo. As the mother of the boys who wear their Camp Galileo shirts almost every day, Camp Galileo isn't far from my mind either. Those shirts are in every laundry basket I set out to fold. I can't fathom the number of times I've folded those shirts. I could probably pick them out of a pile of clothing with my eyes shut.
My boys have worn their Camp Galileo shirts to bed. They've worn them to other other camps. Our photos from this summer look like we packed in a hundred activities into one day because no matter what my boys doing, at least one of them is wearing a Camp Galileo t-shirt!
A few examples...
At the OMSI in Portland.
A the beach, making a fort.
On the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad.
At Santana Row, shopping with me (think I must've bribed him).
Chalk Boy wore his camp shirt to the aquarium:
His brother wore his while trying to earn time on his beloved Sony PSP.
Tomorrow will be yet another day of making memories in a Camp Galileo t-shirt. My boys will be heading to a spy camp at a local school district and guess what they'll be wearing? HEAVILY laundered Camp Galileo t-shirts, of course.
Another day, another Camp Galileo t-shirt to wash. I see no end in sight until my boys have outgrown them. Which leaves me to wonder why Camp Galileo only allows ONE t-shirt per camper per summer? Every camper gets one t-shirt only, even if they attend camp the entire summer. I say bump it up to one t-shirt per week of camp attended, or make the t-shirts available for sale on-site.
It's all good, of course. Camp Galileo = a summer of fun and learning. As long as my boys feel happy, I'm happy to wash those shirts, again and again. We loved Camp Galileo and will be back for more next summer. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask... pssst... Camp Galileo! Do you think you can allow me to stock up on t-shirts next year? Please?
