It's Cousin Camp time! The kids left on Wednesday morning to the mountain with Granpa George and Grandma Colleen. Gage got to go this year and so we were childless for 4 days!
On Saturday afternoon we drove up to pick them up. The parents are banned from coming until then. They did a whole flag ceremony for us! It was so cute. Carter did such a good job folding the flag.
This is them singing "God Bless the U.S.A." It was awesome. Carter and Gage even sang the chorus. Katlyn did amazing! She missed us a lot. She takes after her mother in being a "Mama's Girl" but she had a blast. The boys' clothes were awefully dirty, but they are still talking about the things that they did.
"The Cook!" How considerate of her to wash before cooking our food. She did a great job! Grandpa George had a whole kitchen set up, and even a place with wood floor and tarps all around it to take a bath. The major highlight for me was the port-a-potty!
After dark they did a little program on the theme for camp that year which was Book of Mormon heroes. They sang "Book of Mormon Stories" and "The Wise Man & The Foolish Man" (I'm not sure of the real name of that one.) I was so proud of all of them. They did all the actions and sang so good. They also each told a story from the Book of Mormon. They each even made a journal that looks like the Gold Plates. It was so cute. I was almost in tears. I can't belive how fast they are all growing up. Thanks George and Colleen for all the work that you put into this each year.

Super cute idea, especially the part about taking them without parents for four days! I bet that's great for the kids to get to know their grandparents and each other better. So what's this "big news"? Hmmmm... - Cameo
