now we grew up with a dad who worked at de camp for over sixty years now so we are just camp girl the heart we love everything about the summer are the activities and the friendships you make and the morning first thing in the morning they get i'm they get dressed they want to be excited for the day they want to feel good and they want to dress themselves that's really new people and i think it's a way to express themselves you know the kind of day who they really are you know who and while they're wearing their care t shirts have decals or letters put on that said i'm in the not paula paula not an indian i the back of our show actually when you're meeting new friends which you can't you know they don't they didn't know how to tell us apart and this way we made it easy for them and it was just like a fun little icebreaker or you know and that's you know what we're going to be talking about today how the clothing can help you you know i guess feel comfortable when you're in a new situation like i'm really it's a let's bring up a picture p let's see what we have people we have now this is again by that grand cool monkey you guys have to check this out cool monkey dot com if you have kids they will go crazy for all the apparel and it's great for camp they're great because they embrace all the trends that you're seeing even for adults here we have a great tie dyed sweatshirt yeah always comfortable always really and it's great for knowing too i mean we're showing a lot of the girl trends but title is popular with the boys and here's the thing to a lot of kids get a little nervous if they're going to sleep wake camp so what agreat to do a could be scary you can also buy regular t shirts or store sweatshirts and you can tie dye them yourselves well yes you get ready to get excited about camp to do something as a family or just you know mom and daughter whatever it is to get really excited about your clothes now the thing is a lot of the camps today it's a little different i think than it was years ago the camps require that the kids where there are you know shirt with the camp name on it which makes it very easy on the parent right they don't have to go buy a whole new wardrobe right you know or think about what they're buying but sometimes it's actually fun to you know create your own little you know personalize once you put on the other girls you don't want to take them off they're really comfortable you get a lot of compliments of course we got ones with a little bit of a plateau i really believe that event for adults now too they're calling them fashion sneakers so they're not just you know sneakers to run around in or go to the gym in there because to actually get noticed in and to really kind of amp up your wardrobe and your outfits yes they want it it's fun to embrace the summer campaign and be a care so i think we're ready for our next look o want to be comfortable because you want to be fashionable i mean the girls are into the thousands but there's a lot of fun activities gone on in camping in the running around the grounds and participating and you know but in baseball yeah  but let's talk about this amazing glass that taylor is carrying ali so this is the water bottle i guess like a lot of the kids are using these days then again and some cuckoo monkey right but there's something back to camp i know our kids our kids go to the camp yes and but even that amazing it doesn't have to be sleepaway kids embrace all great fashions even when they're home they wear their care t shirts they sometimes change it up like you were saying the color is you know the spirit get into the spirit because i mean it's really a time to do re time in that time of the year this time for us is all about summer that kids and camp that's it that's it that's all you really again personalizing everything kids feel so special when they're wearing something with their name on it i know what is that it's not only kids i think it's grown ups too monograms are so popular they make great gifts something  thing piece of clothing or bad with your name on it it's so exciting to open it and where it will be is a little more thought was put into it was created you know the person creating it is actually i probably envisioning well i wonder who this emmy is you know that i'm creating this gift for and it had an economic weakness now admit you know when you're in camp and you feel like maybe a little lonely sometimes and you put on a shirt or a pair of pants and your name on it it's almost like an acknowledgement from home like hey mindy i never thought about it that way you're right it's really it's a cute way to feel familiar or a little less lonely right and you can get the camp name going down the leg you know it's like taylor going to silver lake our children go to raw mccoy's you can get the name  going down the pan of the camp you know and also i think kind of provides like a bond feeling you know for like that all the kids in the group you know it's like oh well maybe in the name of the group because i think you know they named the groups like they do the know but only some of the kids name their own groups like if they're in the big girls or the you know the they can name it after like the letter or something and they can all be you know i don't know maybe they can even talk about getting the same clothes and the whole think that would be really you know again this is cuckoo monkey dot com everybody needs to check this out i'm actually thinking you know as adults you know and we don't go to camp anymore but unfortunately but you know maybe we shouldn't incorporate some of these things into our summer wardrobe i think i also feel young again yeah i think a mindset i think that's so important in the summer to reach deep down and embrace your inner child you inner kemper yeah because that's a good unlike the other is not oh yeah i went to camp when we were younger there was a sense of being carefree it was a sense of also being being happy with yourself i think we all felt very happy with ourselves and very comfortable in camp so i think a lot of the camps try to put out there that you know you work very hard during the year and camp should be the time where you feel you know good about yourself it's you know very big on the bonding with other children and you know and good value and value to one another or you know they're very good friends every big these days about there should never be bowling of course everybody should be included and you know again you know we mentioned our dad is in the camping business so we know a lot of these thing we've been talking so much about girls let's just take a minute to talk about some boy look right or camp that's right the boys count too i think with a rash and more about comfort more than anything else right i mean that's really the bottom line when it comes to clothing so under armor boys love the fit and they love the fia i think they have things like dreyfus right there and we know the boys are playing the sport right so it's wedding and it works great for that but i think they really express themselves with knickers mighty gun just bought a pair of sneakers they were way well over one hundred dollars and you know i don't know if it looks like it's worth that but it makes him feel really happy and good and that's i think something special for boys definitely and i mean i know boys who collect sneakers i conversations with other children make them feel really good about it i mean i've been thinking of something though that kind of raises the question what about the children maybe who don't have you know the can't afford can't afford the new sensor and that's a boy that's a good reaction and especially in camp i think they work very hard to make kids feel comfortable and they don't want kids to feel that they are superior or inferior or whatever it is because of what they're wearing or what they have there's a fine line there you know i was wrong about that parent yeah what you want your kid to project out there as well you're right you don't want to go too over the top but if i think of a child works very hard and saves his money and you save your money you can splurge on a special  a snickers for their birthday or something like that and i think you know we've talked about the fact that there are a lot of designers and brands out there that do have knock offs or you know designs that are less expensive but really look like the higher end it think it's so important with kids to spread and or to not spend too much money because first of all the growing they're changing their wants and needs every minute of the day and the start can't go away to sleep or he can't i've heard this story before especially with the boys when they hit isn't just for kids no this is for us yes for growing lying rather for granted campers this is great you can take it to the beach right this is a great b but of course you can take it to camp and it's great you could put in a towel there's often times the kids are going from thing to thing maybe in rainy weather or something or the taking a camp trip for a day on screen onscreen parents are always worried about the children putting on sunscreen when they're out of their sight it's always good to so this is adorable again cuckoo monkey we love the editing company lies again to suit your child any kind of design if your child is into sports you know sport pictures and patches could be your child to camp you know when they're missing you it's nice to get packages so you know the little things like you know gadgets or bags or assessor ease with their name on it to brighten their day when they're you know maybe a little lonely a little homesick and then they open the package and they recognize you know maybe it's from a store that they love to shop at or cuckoo monkey which we can't stop talking about and their name is on it or maybe like a little private joke maybe they have in the family like they're obsessed with teddy bears are something you know and it just will brighten anyone's day i agree and i think bags in general are great storage places for kids in camp they don't even have to carry it around but you can set it as a thing that they're going to say put their socks in or a place that they're going to keep their books because because kids bring these things up the cabin a lot of times there's there aren't a lot of drawers or places to keep things everyone comes home and there's they're missing everything and they look like a whole nother thing the kid fashions that you're sending your kids up to camp with don't all come back and now we have it a little easier because  talked about before our kids go to day camp but they still wind up losing their goggles right the goggles you buy ten paradigms they come home with one sock i mean i don't know  big but seriously they come home and they're messy and dirty and that's how we supposed to be right this whole episode is about fashions for k out but the truth is you know you don't want to be too fancy or too expensive because the whole idea of camp is really to have fun and we always say dirty campers are happy campers so as great as the closer be you can't be afraid to get it dirty all right speaking of campers yes  all different colors they look great in your hair they're holding her back when you're so hot and sweaty but there's more purpose than headband kahlo war hala war color game all the camps have some kind of competition at the end of the summer the kids get in to the spirit and they wear whatever team color they're you know on red blue why i don't have band is not expensive and is just great ways show your camping gear and we love everything about the head bad trend not the and they're making a great action because if i really like this for the kids i think the kids are really going to you know embrace it especially this summer i think this started a little bit last summer with the fashion because for the girls and the boys and this summer i mean the in the options out there are it ok well meaning right absolutely overwhelming and if we can bring up another picture that we have we really do have a sparkly sneakers you see this one this is my paw and this is like a not a turquoise kind of foam green greenish blue or initially barkley glam and barrel just goes back to that whole thing again where you're letting your kids express themselves through fashion and whether it's a color and your competition it should not be like well you know taylor has this and i don't know it's like you don't want your kid to get into like that kind of if you just be so that makes you feel good express yourself and have a great time right so these thinkers again are comfortable and durable but also really really pretty fun and functional we like to you know with fashion that's you know i think kind of like the way we think about our wardrobe choices well speaking of that yes  we want to talk about a tip today because these kids are yak from camp and i always hear all the moms complain about the laundry how many days it takes and how their clothes are all ruined and they have to got there whether it's painter my or who knows what else the food you know that they're always eating like junk in ice cream in greasy barbecues and so speaking of all that the grease is really the thing ye color over the stain let the chalk absorb the grease and the grimes and after i guess how long you think maybe like an hour or so let it get absorbed you know how it's you know that much time it's more about i think putting a lot on and letting it like really like cover the entire state and then you throw in the one in the wash and guess what was gone and you guys are probably not believing that's true but we tried it it really works for you going out to dinner or school you always look great thank you so much for coming today we know you're very talented and lots of areas is there something that you would like to do come to the rah rah song together is there ok let's do that let's think of a for the most important thing of all is to wear your smile right enjoy summer and feel really good about yourself and h
