The Cousins ready for Cousin Camp! (ages 9-1)
No moms allowed.
They all arrived about 12:30. First, we played some games. Lily playing "Duck, Duck,Goose"
Next, we skipped rocks at the pond. OK, we tried.
Uncle Kody was pretty good at it.
The swing!
(the 3 youngest)
------------------
This is where the best fun happened. We made this!
Kaden aptly named it "Woppity". (If you try this project, be sure to do it outside---it's messy!)
(my archaic internet won't allow me to upload the video---I'll try again later!
------------------
Sadie's mom came to get her for a nap at this point.
Snacks and swimming.
(Uncle Kody is the BEST!)
And we swam until about 3pm.
The cousins had a blast. Mimi had a blast. I think even the moms had a blast!
"We love Cousin Camp!"

Cousin Camp points:
Thanks to Amy G. for this idea.
All these kids live on our acreage and spend a lot of time together. They refer to each other as "my friends" ; )
It was the build-up and anticipation of Cousin Camp that made it so special.
We'll be doing it again---they're already asking. ; )
Grands are the GREATEST!
That's awesome! My grandparents did "Granparents Night Out" once per month with us. All the cousins would go spend the night (up to 17 of us). We'd play games, snack all night, build a big tent/fort in the living room (the coolest 'tent' was under my grandparents dining room table and we bigger kids always got to it first), etc, etc.
ReplyDeleteWe ALWAYS looked forward to it and we ALWAYS loved it! I'm glad you're doing this for your grandkids!
P.S. We called it "GrandKIDS Night Out", not "GrandPARENTS Night Out"...haha...it was hard work for them!
ReplyDeleteoh Robin..I am so jeaolous for the season of life you are in...I have mornings free as God is restructuring some things in our life..want to have coffee next week? I miss you!
ReplyDeleteOh, Shanna. It is a glorious season. But, remember. I worked hard to get here! ; )
ReplyDeleteHang in there---you're sowing seeds that will sprout and grow into a harvest of blessings! I promise!
Yes. Coffee next week sounds great--can't wait to hear about Africa.

To follow up on Roger's comment...when I saw the picture of the grands with Kody, the song "One of These Things is Not Like the Others" came to mind. :)
