Cousin Camp 2021

 So many blog-worthy events have happened and will be happening in our family over the next few weeks.  One event was Cousin Camp which came at the very end of July. I didn't have as much time to prepare for this one as I wanted but I think we still had fun.  We invited a little lonely neighbor boy to join us who needed some friendship. We also invited a toddler cousin who enjoyed the splash pad with us one afternoon and came over for dinner and s'mores on another day.

Our first activity was making little melted pony bead creations using cookie cutters. Our next activity was going to the nearby splash pad. It was appropriately hot and everyone enjoyed it.





For dinner that night, we had macaroni and cheese. After dinner we did a fun bike ride down the canal trail.

On Friday, we did a little scripture study, then we visited the Monte L. Bean Museum. It worked out well since it was a little rainy and we got there before the crowds.






After some lunch, we drove down to Big Springs park up Provo Canyon and I let the kids play in the water and enjoy being in nature. Max decided to jump in the water at one point and got quite wet but it wasn't a big deal. I always feel like a great grandparent when I let the kids get messy, which definitely happened. 







That night we had hamburgers for dinner and then made a little fire and cooked s'mores while the kids enjoyed riding around on bikes--sadly no pictures of that.

The next day, we got Mindy and Camille off to youth conference and then we biked with the grandkids to the All-Together playground. They enjoyed it but biking home was a little tiring for Katie. We ate some lunch and then their parents came to pick them up!



We enjoyed our time together and I look forward to a little more planned cousin camp next summer!

Visiting Susquehanna: The Priesthood Restoration Site

On our way home from Palmyra, we decided to go a couple of hours out of our way to visit the recently opened Priesthood Restoration Site along the Susquehanna River.  This is where we believe that Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery received the keys of the Aaronic Priesthood from John the Baptist which gave them the authority to baptize.  This site also has the restored Isaac and Elizabeth Hale home where Joseph and Emma lived for a year as well as the home where Joseph and Emma lived on their own. We spent a couple of hours there and I wouldn't have minded a few more minutes but we had a long way to go that night.  It's a beautiful setting, very much in rural Pennsylvania.  However, on the day we were there, cars at a racetrack nearby were detracting from the peace and quiet.  I'm guessing that's not as big of a problem on weekdays. The Hale Family was quite well-off for their day so their home was probably nicely decorated with wallpaper and carpet. ...

Book Review: Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper

This is a juvenile fiction book about a young girl named Melody with severe cerebral palsy.  Her body doesn't allow her to feed herself, speak, or do much at all.  She's very intelligent with a photographic memory but she can't really communicate.  Finally, in 5th grade, she gets a "Medi-Talker" which is a computer that speaks what she types in.  Finally she has a voice. This book explores what it is like to be severely physically disabled but not mentally disabled. It seems like one of the most frustrating of all scenarios.  She is completely aware of all the cruelty (subtle and otherwise) that her classmates inflict on her because they don't really want to include her in their activities.  One of the saddest moments in the book comes when she realizes that every one of her special ed classmates is kind, where the "normal" ones are not.  Who really has the worse disability? The book was a quick read and fairly enjoyable.  Wha...

Do Dots Family System

The original post was written in January of 2015. I wrote an update at the bottom of this post in March 2021. A few months ago, a friend of mine told me about something she was doing in her family to help her family function better.  Her teenage autistic son had been struggling a lot so they had been working with behavior therapists to help him and this "Do Dots Family System" had been recommended.  As she described it, I was greatly intrigued since it sounded like something I wanted to implement at my own house. I looked into it and decided to purchase it right after Thanksgiving.  Here is my review of how it has worked for us over the last six weeks or so. The basic idea of the chart is that children need to take care of their responsibilities before they get any privileges.  It strongly reinforces the concept of "Work Before Play" .  The chart helps children see in a very visual way that, until they have completed their responsibilities, they are on Le...
