About midway through camp today we received a message from the superintendent that urges us to limit all outdoor exposure for the campers and ourselves. Tomorrow we are not allowed to take the kids outside after 11am. The heat index is going to make the temperature here feel like 115 degrees. A little before noon today we had the kids sitting outside listening to the sounds of the forest, and sweat was streaming down their faces (mine too). The humidity is so high that even at 8pm last night I broke a sweat walking to feed carrots to Merlin. It feels like breathing water.
We spent quite a bit more time inside than we originally intended to. That was somewhat disappointing. Tomorrow we'll take the kids out much earlier in the day. Hopefully after a few hours spent at the creek we'll have enough filler material to keep the kids inside the rest of the day.
