Cousin Camp 2009 - Orientation Night

The kids are in bed. Two are asleep. Two are not.

I only had three children and I was under 30 when my last child was born. My camp director husband and I have four grandchildren here for the week. We're halfway between fifty and sixty. I hope we make it.

The children showed up all excited at four o'clock and Cousin Camp 2009 officially started. Aunt Mary helped us start our bright yellow t-shirts, which now have everyone's hand shape and initials on them.


Thank you Aunt Mary. Then the kids made signs for the doors of the rooms they would sleep in. Pool was next, making them hungry and hopefully tired.

Dinner - was quite fun. We let them experiment putting all kinds of food on top of each other to eat it. Then Nonno took them for a walk to find the Black Rat/Racer snake that he has seen in our yard twice in the past two weeks....they looked like snakes themselves wandering through the yard.



Then we made snowballs, each had four flavors, in one cup of course. I guess it would be called Rainbow. We read some books, had another treat (they are at Grandma's) and then off to bed.

The kids are still in bed. Two are still asleep, and two are still not.
