When I was growing up I used to love going to spend a few days with my grandparents. I have such great memories. I loved to play in the yard while my Gramma hung the laundry on the clothes line. She was a tiny little lady so she had to stand on a stool. I have that stool in my bedroom today.
At night we would have an ice cream soda and watch my grandad roll his cigarettes. I can clearly remember the thin white papers and the smell of the tobacco.
We slept upstairs and I could hear the church bells ringing every hour all night long because of course...we slept with the windows open.
I want to my grand babies to have memories. Not just the ones we create when I pick them up from school but the ones we can make when we spend a couple of days together.
So we had a Gramma Camp. I hope it will be an annual event...at least until they are too old to be interested anymore.
We began by building a bug garden.
A fairy garden was my original plan but bugs happened to be the in item at Hobby Lobby this summer so that is what we picked!
Finley took great care in the placement of the stone pathways...
Brooklynn took a break to cool off inside.
Dinner was pizza in our own outdoor pizza oven.
Wow...that was one hot oven!
Dessert was ice cream sundaes with chocolate coated waffle cones...
not an ice cream soda but fun!
A little cooking making because you can never have too much sugar!
the beauty of a pool, you can just hop in whenever you want!
Wow...we just had too much fun!
I am not a movie fan but this was just too good. We went armed with snacks and money for a bag of popcorn because what is better than spending $6.50 for a small bag of movie theater popcorn.
Believe we will of course!
It was a great three days!
I probably have better memories of the time than they do and that is a good thing!
