Summer camp!

Mason is attending "camp" at a local forest preserve. Each Wednesday morning Jeni, Mason, and Alice drive out and Mason learns about animals, insects, and plants while Jeni and Alice relax with some other parents.

Some of Mason's friends are attending as well. Here he and Natalie show off their hats.

Mason showed absolutely no apprehension about being away from Jeni for the hour and a half of camp. This made Jeni both happy and sad.
