Grandma Camping! (Part One)

Part One:

I am not fond of most people's definition of camping. I grew up with most 'vacations' meaning tents, bugs, dirt, and fishing- now when I was younger that may have been appealing- I know the memories of time with my family are priceless- that being said: memories, yes! camping, no thanks!

But what has come to be known to my kids as Grandma Camping, well it's just the best of both worlds!!! Grandma Camping means spending the week with Grandma Sue in a - for lack of a better description- a mansion! Extremely large house, this year in Midway, with five bedrooms plus a master suite (one bedroom actually being a bunk room with 4 sets of bunks- others having a king sized bed, queen sized bed, two with double beds and one with a trundle too.), five bathrooms, a large kitchen with all the amenities, plus several large family and or game rooms- and more large screen tv's than we can watch at once! This house, known as Grandma's cabin to the grand kids, is close enough to Jordanelle to play on the water all day and come 'home' for a nice shower, soft seats, home cooked meals, a movie or games, and best of all, no bugs!

Some of my favs of the week:

time with cousins a fabulous date for Charly's 100

watching Jon build sandcastles for the girls

Adilynne 'driving' the jet ski

with Grandma!

The little girls playing princess (on the table,

in the tub, everywhere!),

the little girls 'performing' their

latest dance or song on their 'stage!

or just my girls at a local playground...

Grandma Camping is full of the best blessings and memories!
