Camp Granny 2010

The fun started June 7 when we picked up our first campers-Myra and Noah, Josh`s kids.  The camp bus picked them up at Davis, Oklahoma-halfway to their home in Ft. Worth.  It was some 5 days of swimming, sno cones, fireworks, hot dogs and movies.  Forgot to mention Kennedy joined them because  she and Myra are such great cousin friends.  Kennedy kept them on the run and Myra settled them down on occasion.  Noah just followed along or not as his mood struck him.  He was pretty busy taking care of his new found favorite thing Kennedy`s 2 little puppies. Ricky, Hannah, and Andrew were staying with his sister for a few days and they joined the kids for a swim one evening.

The next week group 2 came in including Anna and family.  Again a round of camp things happened fitting them in between visits with the Gode cousins from Maryland.  Sunday after brunch Papa and Sky left to join Brandon for Scout Camp.  Ricky feeling left out made plans to return Wed. for Scout Camp which he did and helped Brandon not feel so homesick until his Dad arrived on Fri.

Week 3 included Nate and Brandon and Ricky for one afternoon.  This was a different camp-doing things a city kid doesn`t often get to do-rifle shooting, tubing on the lake, fireworks,  golf, and just hanging out with his Dad and Papa.

Kennedy was able to be included many days as she swims on Stroud Swim Team and practices here 3 evenings a week plus Angie was in summer school all of June.  Tho Jett, Skylor, Kenzie and Hayden didn`t get to stay at Camp Granny they were in and out often.

As I look into the immediate future Nate and Brandon left this morning.  Then Josh and family will be here July 1st for Noah`s 6th birthday party on the 4th.  This is the perfect place for fireworks for our  little firecracker.  July 9th Anna and family will be passing thru on way to Aquarina Reunion in Alva and possibly back thru on the 11th.  Angie, Walter, Kennedy, 2 cats, and 2 dogs will be with us July 15 until the  28th while their new home is finished.  It will work well for Kennedy`s swim practice.  I`m glad we have the space to help them out a bit.  To say the least our big quiet house has had a fun time with Camp Granny 2010.
