Opi and Grammy Camp

A couple of months ago, Emily called to see if we could watch Kelsi and Oliver while she went with the big girls to Girls Camp.  A few weeks later Merijane called and needed the same thing the same days.  Then, Matt had an out of town conference he had to present at, that Krista was invited to go to, so they asked if Sophie could sleep over, and it was also the same days.  We didn't want to leave Logan and Parker out, so they joined in the fun.  (Savannah already had a dance class those days, so she wasn't available)

We got out our old tent and it was perfect for the girls.

Jordan let us borrow his awesome tent for the boys.

These three were the first to arrive.  Sophie loves doing Diamond Art and I thought the others might enjoy it, so we ordered some stickers that she taught the kids how to do.

They all loved doing them and they turned out so cute.

My sweet friend Kelli Handy let us come and swim in her pool the first afternoon. So fun!

Jack grilled hot dogs for us for lunch.  Yummm

The girls made all kinds of goofy signs and pranked the boys by putting them all over their tent in the middle of the night. I was amazed that they were quiet enough not to wake the boys.

Kelsi and Gabbie both try to go running every day, so early in the morning, all us girls went for a run. 

After our run we had breakfast, then walked to Harmons for doughnuts.

When our kids were little, mom did shrink art with them.   I had just done it with my activity boys and they really enjoyed it, so we did it with these kids too.  They came up with some great designs.

They LOVED watching it shrink

These are just a couple that were made. Each of them made 3 of 4.   We put them on their backpacks.

The girls were in charge of making sno cones with my new machine. 

Mike had been saving old power tools, speakers, phones etc that didn't work anymore.  He envisioned the boys having fun taking them apart and he was right, they LOVED it!

The girls cooled off in the pool while the boys disected power tools.

Hot lava on the trampoline

and mini golf.  The kids were so great and it was such a fun time.  They all left by 6:00, I heated up leftover pizza for dinner and was fast asleep by 7:00.  They wore me out!!!!
