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!

Grandcamp Day 6

Our final day of Grandcamp Phase One was a short one. We began by watching a pot boil... eggs, for breakfast. No yellow, just white.


The transition to Grandcamp Phase Two went smoothly, thanks to the loving care of Mimi and Grammie. Have fun!

Grandcamp Day 5

Today was our last full day of Grandcamp Phase One.

Mimi loved her birthday napping puppy!



We had pancakes and juice at McDonalds for breakfast.



We picked up a few things at Walmart. "Run!! Run!!"


We baked cupcakes for Mimi's birthday.


The main part was putting the sprinkles on.


Lighting the candles required lots of coaching. "Light that one next!"


Blowing out candles was a team effort, as usual.


But the best part of all was eating sprinkles - straight!


It was another nice day, so we did some cleaning up outside...


...and helped Pa get a plastic bag out of the tree.


We dug in the flower bed...


...and cut a flower for Mimi's table.


For supper, we went to Jalepeno Tree for mexican food, and finished with an ice cream cone.


We stayed up really late watching Veggie Tales and Maisy (Pa loves Veggie Tales). Grandcamp Phase Two is going to be even more fun!

Grandcamp Day 4

We all went to church this morning, and some of us played on the playground while Mimi worked in the library. After church, we ate and got the house ready for our Life Group meeting.
Pa took a nap.
Mimi took a nap.

Naomi took a nap... finally!


After that, we watched some videos -- making sure Mimi stayed very close.
