WELCOME TO GRANDMA CAMP!


We started out camp with making and playing with playdough and popsciles.
Everyone got to pick their own color and flavor.
I think it was the first time some had used cookie cutters, but maybe not.They all enjoyed making different shapes.



We moved the activity to the table.



Next, we did some music shakers. We cut out pictures, glued them to a paper plate, folded them in
half and put in the sound.(rice, beans, macaroni) and
voila!! MUSIC!!!









 After that we took a break and had snack-apples, bananas and water.












 Then, back to camp...


                                  ...with Ring on a string.











Lunch time, Hailee was
our waitress.  We had
peanut butter and honey or
peanut butter and jam sandwiches.
Grapes and milk to drink, and good conversation.



Then we took a break and some of us had a nap, some watched T.V. Then we resumed camp with writing letters to Stephen and painting T-shirts. Everyone picked the color they wanted to use and there were several stencils to pick from. Sydney did insects. Hailee did a dog and doghouse and dog bone. Spencer did a dog and a bone. Alyssa did a dog and bone. Each sign their work of art. sorry we forgot to take pictures:(
After T-shirts, we had our popsciles, yummy!!!!!! and a little sticky.


 Later that same day we(everyone) played outside on the slip'n slide, the play/swing set. We, Kellee, Alyssa and Sydney, also did chalk time.


For dinner we had corndogs and mac and cheese.

During dinner we were serenaded with the Beach Boys song of Kokomo, I am not sure what Sydney thought of all of it, but I thought
It was delightful!!!

After dinner we settled down for a night at the movies. After some discussion and much thought, we were entertained with Toy Story III.
Kellee "slept" with the girls on the downstairs bed.Sdyney ended up sideways, kellee was at the foot of the bed, Alyssa also ended up sideways. (I wish I had known and would also have taken a pic of that. Spencer split up his sleep time in two different beds.

DAY TWO
 The next morning we had breakfast. Then went downstairs for music time with our shakers and other instruments. We marched and did follow the leader.


 We then got ready...put out paper, got our paint shirts on and...
 painted








and painted






 BIRDHOUSES


While the projects dried we made sugar cookies. Spencer and Hailee made some power rangers. there was also a ramdom assortment made. While the cookies were baking and cooling we watched Peter Pan.
We also had the popcorn that we didn't have last night.

I hope everyone had fun. that includes the moms. I hope they didn't miss the kids too much and will bring them back again for another camp.

I would like to do one for the Brienholts and the Motts. We just need to schedule those.
