Grandcamp East - Day 3

Well, Day 3 was a pretty busy one. After breakfast (creamed chipped beef, per my request) I did some more construction in the garage.


Ta-Daahhh!


It seemed like a good time to drive into the house. So I did.


Later, we went to the Mall. There were lots of things for window shopping.


And we took a quick survey of the food court.


After lunch, I made the longest wooden train in the world. It had a tendency to break in the middle on the overpasses.


Then there was more construction work to do. My structures are getting more complex.


So, I got an assistant.


As a follow up, I did some small scale projects using the trucks Grandpa Mike made for me. Pa thinks they are awesome. I do too.


Before supper time, I went to the drive-in to see Veggie Tales. Pa thinks Veggie Tales should be featured at all drive-ins.


The drive-in playground had a nifty slide.


Hey Guys! Watch this!! (Pa says he can 'see it coming...')


Mimi gave me a ride home from the drive-in. Pa said "See what I mean?"


Mimi and I made some cookies. She's a good baker - she didn't even need to use a recipe.


I got to lick the beaters!


After supper, I got a little wild and threw a toy. So I put myself in Time Out. Mimi was impressed. She said "I see what you mean."


The rest of the day was pretty much getting ready for bed. Bedtime was a little earlier tonight, since tomorrow is a school day. I wasn't quite ready, but I had to go to bed anyway.

Grandcamp East - Day 2

Day 2 began with breakfast - one of my favorites. Thank you, Mimi!


After breakfast, I did a little reading, on my own. Good idea, Mimi!


Train time! I like to climb into small containers...but there's a lot of work to do.


Pa helped me a little bit...


...while Keats kept an eye on things.


Since it was a rainy day, we decided to have a Pajama Day - and play in the garage. We made some things to climb on, and shot some hoops again.


I found another use for the hoop - very handy.


Later, we watched ONE episode of Veggie Tales. Pa loves Veggie Tales.


I did a little puzzle box work...


... and practiced martial arts - mainly shikawa-kachu ("plastic golf club weapon").


After supper, we watch ONE more episode of Veggie Tales. Pa says Veggie Tales is really for adults, but it's ok for kids to watch, too. Thank you for the popcorn, Mimi!


Just before bedtime, I played in the garage some more. This is a balance beam layout I set up myself.

Grandcamp East - Day 1

At last -- seems like we've been waiting for this day forever!
After breakfast, Mimi and Pa took me to school.


A little later, Mommy and Daddy headed out on their trip.


After school we met James at McDonalds for a snack and some fun on the indoor playground.
(Pa forgot his camera, so we have to wait until we get some pictures from James' Mommy.)

Before we knew it, it was time for a bath.


I played a new game, called "Splat the wet washcloth against the wall". It was hilarious.

Grandcamp East - Prologue

Before the start of Grandcamp East, we spent some time at the Greenville Zoo.
There is a very nice playground there.




One reason we went to the zoo was to go to Zoo Tots. They showed us a family of Sugar Gliders.


They look like this:

We got to see the giraffes - they are one of my favorite animals.

We found another playground inside the zoo. I like to fly through the air!

And help Daddy walk on narrow things.

Another day, we went to a Clemson Tigers baseball game, with my friend James.

And his little brother, Andy.

We didn't watch very much of the game.

But we had fun anyway.

Andy worked on his pushups.

James got into a pickup ball game with some other guys.

On the way home from the game, we picked up some food and had a picnic at our house.

Mommy and I rested and watched clouds for a little while.

We played in Pa's van, too.


The next day, we shot some hoops...


Did a little work in the shop...


And played catch for a while.


Now we are ready for Grandcamp East!
