GRANDMA CAMP

GRANDMA CAMP
Day 4

This is the last day of Grandma Camp 2007. We all slept in till 9:30 this morning! I can't believe it. We have been so busy, and then with the threat of rain today, everyone was just plain sleepy.
Already we are making some plans for next year. We will have 7 happy campers and I'm planning on a full week + to carry on this tradition. It was just too much fun this year.
Our last day.. take a look:

David the sleepyhead.. He was the last to arise, and did so with a squeal of delight! He's been a great little camper.

When he got up, it was a little chilly, so he helped himself to one of the bigger boy's Tee shirts and went on to play with his train..

Perhaps Paul and Amy would like to scroll down past David and the Fruit Loops.. they may not appreciate the next picture and it's story

At GMC, on the last day, anything goes (within reason).. so when I asked the kids what they wanted for breakfast today, they all said in unison "CHOCOLATE CAKE !!"
And so it was that we started a new breakfast fare.. Chocolate Cake and milk.
Daniel wasn't dressed at this point, but I think he was afraid I'd change my mind if he didn't get to the table and get his share of the treat.

Not all campers wanted chocolate cake for breakfast. David chose Fruit Loops.. and ate every bite.

At our last camp 2006, we made journals of everything we did- I took a lot of pictures and then let each one choose which ones they wanted in their journal. Here's Paul working on his right up to suppertime.

With all the rain, they had to be inside a bit more today than other days.. but they like to play Sorry..

Papa took the boys with him on errands today. They got us Pizza for lunch...yummy! While they were gone, David and Joyce decorated their camper tee shirts..
Tonite the children made supper for their parents.. Roast pork done to perfection in the crock pot.
There was fresh fruit salad.. they cut most everything themselves.. and then corn and mashed potatoes.. Joyce helped make the potatoes. They set the table just perfectly, and we had fresh squeezed lemonade for our drink.
The dessert was left over cake from last night.. but still moist and delicious.

I'm sad to see them go, and can't wait to do it again.. Joyce would like to do this again next week.. Alas.. I'll be back to work then.
They did get in the pool this morning.. splashing and having a great time for the first few minutes, and then they came back into the house in a hurry..
"It's raining !!! And we were getting wet !"
Ah.. I LOVE GMC !
