Grandma & Grandpa's Camp!

2008-07-30T17:00:00.000-07:00

We had a wonderful family reunion at grandma and grandpa's cabin July 24-26th. It was great to have everyone there! The grandchildren really enjoyed being together! We painted on our yellow camp shirts! Wait, someone painted their hands!

Row Row Row our Boats!

2008-07-30T16:55:00.000-07:00

We really enjoyed rowing around in the boats on the lake.

Most of the time we were in control of where we were going.

Thank goodness for some 'adult' help!

Rocket ballons were out of control!

2008-07-30T16:50:00.000-07:00

We let rocket balloons go! Boy we never knew where they were going to end up!

Where did it go, eh?

Planes! And scavenger hunts for sun pictures!

2008-07-30T16:45:00.000-07:00

We enjoyed making airplanes! And we went on a scavenger hunt to find objects of nature to make a sun picture! Boy are we smart!

Rambo, our best friend!

2008-07-30T16:40:00.000-07:00

Rambo was a favorite! He went on many walks!

Come on Rambo...get up! Get up Rambo!

Boy he is really worn out!

Digging for Gold!

2008-07-30T16:35:00.000-07:00

And let's not forget our sweet Mallory digging for gold and then trying to put it back! What a trick!

I think Cameron was really impressed!

Doing our thing!

2008-07-30T16:25:00.000-07:00

Some kids came to relax and read. Some came to be goofy. Why do you think these kids came?

Our meals were the yummiest!

2008-07-30T16:20:00.000-07:00

We had delicious food! Did anyone else gain weight besides me?

And look at this delicious bug cake Kirty made for us! Totally edible! Wow!

What's camp without playing games, eh?

2008-07-30T16:15:00.000-07:00

There were fun games that we played!

Brandon was taught 'Settlers'. He is now accepted into the world of heavy competition!

Rainbow Rock!

2008-07-30T16:00:00.000-07:00

We hiked to Rainbow Rock!

Well, some 'kids' got to ride up to Rainbow Rock!

Wasn't this camp in a beautiful place! Love the mountains!

It is sad that all good things must end!

2008-07-30T15:01:00.000-07:00

Needless to say, we made many memories!

What a wonderful family we have!

Thanks Diane for all you did to get this organized! And now you can go back to normal, right Diane????

You Need A Little Courage

2008-06-29T18:00:00.000-07:00

Carter wrote a cool song and has even posted it to YouTube.

Lyrics:

You need a little courage, yes, you need a little courage. I know you know nothing about your scare, but... You need a little courage [repeat, repeat, repeat...]

Lagoon! What a fun place!

2008-06-28T18:26:00.001-07:00

Grandpa and I got to go to Lagoon with the Passey family. It was SO much fun! Lagoon has built more family rides than from the last time we were there. Check out Odyssey, the Octopus! And the Ladybug and Dinosaur Egg rides! Some of the kids, including grandpa went on the new Wicked ride. WHOA! And let's not forget, it was Cameron's Diego birthday. Happy 4th Birthday Cameron!

Grandma's Home is fun for all!

2008-06-28T11:48:00.000-07:00

I love having all of my grandchildren at my house! I love their noise!

I love that they all love each other, too!

OOPS! Someone is missing in these pictures.

Remember. Who is in the dog house, eh?

My grandkids are usually not in the dog house

2008-06-25T14:20:00.000-07:00

My grandkids are usually pretty good at my house. But I can't help it if one particular one likes to get into the dog house, can I?

Something new at the ZOO!

2008-06-25T13:46:00.000-07:00

Alright! The Hogle Zoo has a new carousel that my grandkids loved! What is this with Brandon and zebras, eh?

Besides a turtle that you can almost stand up in. Is that right, Zeke?

And it looks like Kristin is going to be eaten alive. WATCH OUT!

My Grandchildren's Paradise

2008-06-25T12:45:00.000-07:00

Discovery Gateway Museum was my Grandchildren's Paradise this summer where all of my good little grandkids have visited! Myriad of tubes sucked up balls. "WOW", said Dallin. There is a playhouse where playing in the kitchen was way fun for Mallory and Rachael. They got wet where the river of water was directed into various contraptions! Zeke even loved riding the cars there! Tough guy Jacob found the crane in the construction zone. And a helicopter on the landing was such a real experience for the kids that when the motor button was turned on, they all dashed out of the helicopter before it took off. WOW!
