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!
