Camp Grandma 2011 is marked by purple shirts, a bit of sunburn, a few bug bites and a lot of smiles. We are almost done with our Camp this year. It has been a fun week filled with laughs and adventures. We have had a Magical Mystery Tour, explored Crystal Cave, hiked at Beaver Creek Reserve and visited the Butterfly house. We had a trip to Olson’s Ice Cream Shop and of course stopped by to see the bears at Irving Zoo. Our night at Phoenix Park was cut short by a rain shower; we tried to tough it out, the rain won.
Of course grandma camp can also have its challenging moments. There is the point where they test us to see if we are really going to make them do the dishes or if they can get by with ignoring us. They can’t. We don’t worry too much about how neat the house is kept; we just make certain each little camper keeps their things together so “stuff” doesn’t get left behind.
We spend hours each day in the pool, play games and watch movies. As we wrap up our week we will put the memories of the week in our journals and look forward to what the next year might bring.
