Gkids Camp 2011 is history–and a big success–at least everyone survived! These pictures will tell the story with just a few comments to let you know what we will try to improve on next year!
Seven of the nine gkids came at 2:00pm. The babies came at bedtime! 
That was a good idea!
We decorated T-shirts which worked OK except for the perfectionists among the kids!
We took everyone to see “Cars 2”. The hardest part was getting the popcorn, candy, and drinks distributed correctly!! Oh, and Carter did hide Caroline’s shoe from her, for which we looked for ten minutes!! That’s all part of the fun!
We came back to the house and jumped in the pool. That’s always lots of fun for the cousins.
It’s nice to see them connect with the California cousins!
We roasted hotdogs, marshmallows , and made smores. Then we sang around the fire and told ghost stories!
Off to bed. They were so tired they all fell asleep before the movies really even got going. Just as well!
The boys serenaded the girls awake at 7am the next morning. Then we went out and played Capture the Flag while the sprinklers were on! They loved it.
The kids poured and flipped pancakes for themselves and their parents who joined us for breakfast.
If children are a blessing from the Lord, then Grandkids are a double blessing! Loving them, singing devo songs around a campfire, doing something for others, getting along with one another–Gkids Camps are just great times for being a blessing to the gkids!
My last task is to make a photo album on Snapfish and send one to each family, so that they remember! And so they look forward to next year–like we do!
