Cousin Camp 2010

Remember a few months ago when I posted "Visions of Cousin Camp Danced in My Head". Well, last week visions of cousin camp danced right in my living room with the help of my sister Heidi and Grandma Gerri. We really had so much fun. Who wouldn't with 15 kids between the ages of 7 and 11, wink wink. They were so well behaved. I am just hoping they had as much fun as I did. Here are a few pictures to show you some of the things we did. They are kind of in random order, but here are some of my favorites!


Feeding 15 hungry kids turned out to be no small chore! In this picture they are making fruit kabobs.


Tyler and the other boys had fun hanging out on the bikes and ripsticks.


One tired grandma and must I add, a very good sport!


We did sand art, they made bracelets, little castles and necklaces.


We also made candy lei's. I am not sure any of them got home, but it sure was yummy!


These kids have the best parents EVER, they are reading letters that their parents left for them.



The girls tied water balloons on their flip flops and had manicures and pedicures, yes, they loved it!


It is amazing that these four girls survived those eleven boys!


All dressed up after the relay races because it was so fun!


The water slide was the best attraction!


Josh on the climbing wall at the park. We visited a couple of parks and even ate breakfast at this park. We did a scavenger hunt here, played soccer, and frisbee.


All the kids at the Air Force Museum, we even got to go into one of the helicopters!


Roasting marshmallows for smores was a huge hit. It was a momentous occasion, that is the day Levi invented the "Rake Roaster". We cleaned off a rake and roasted 7 at one time. It was brilliant!


We went to see "Diary of a Wimpy Kid".


For the talent show, Nick rode his unicycle.



Kate did gymnastics for her talent. We had some other interesting talents such as creations, artwork, musical solos, paper airplane demos, and a personal favorite ... whip cracking!!! Yes, not everyone can do this you know!


We decorated pillowcases and they did a great job.


At the Castle Park there was a stream down below and of course the boys wanted to go check things out!

These are just a few of the memories we made last week. One of the other favorite moments that I don't have a picture for is our visit to Grandma Sandalls. The kids asked her how she survived as a little girl without game systems and tv's, somehow she managed! Thanks to all the great parents of these kids, I couldn't have cousin camp without them!
