GDC days 4 and 5

Day 4 of GDC started at the zoo. Everyone made it...even Kate grabbed Steve's shirt and came for the fun.











Will didn't know what to think about being dragged places with this crowd. And I think he was coming down with the sickness.


Reed was still zipping around at this point. The out-back wasn't that bad.



Emmy, Addie, and part of Abby inside something.




Abby working the rope challenge inside what used to be the dairy barn.



Emmy running the stairs.






All of us were starving.







Will takes a break at lunch time.







Inside the what used to be the reptile house.








Walking to Africa. Will is behind Emmy.








Day 5 of GDC was a cook-out/camp-out with the parents.

Bubbles are always a hit.










Abby soaps up her bubble stick.









Putting up the tents for the camp-out.











Lots of help with the tents.















Success.












It was hot out. Abby was waiting to shoot BB guns.














Picking up sticks to make a fire.











The farmer was baling the hay while we ate. The kids then ran out for a photo op.













On top of the hay.












Emmy "jumping off" the hay.













Making smores.














Steve gets the fire back using an ancient fire method.












Yummy!





From here we had singing time and then everyone took down the tents. A few fireworks, more bubbles and everyone left except Trevor, Reed, Emmy, and Abby who "camped-out" in the RV.

GDC Day 2

It was another fun-filled day at Grandmas' Day Camp. The weather has been unusually cool and the rain held off, so it hasn't been bad. Of course we haven't done any of the water activities.
Today we went to two farms, one that had goats and the other horses, etc.
We all started the day in our camp T-shirts from yesterday's crafting (although Steve wouldn't put his on, something about going to the car lot to sell a car). Addie was with us but Kallie was home sick.



The kids got to pet the goats and learned all sorts of facts about them.











Then it was on to the next farm where chickens and turkeys greated us.


Inside the barn were lots of miniture horses and regular horses.




























Abby looks scared but was saying "cheese" so you lost the smile.






Emmy got to be on one of the small horses.






















Reed was too big for the small horses so he got on one of the big ones.














Will just got to be close to a horse.














After lunch, rest, and singing time it was on to target shooting.













Real BB guns were the hit. They actually hit the target some.
















The girls loved shooting. I didn't get a picture of Abby and Addie, but they shot too.
















The craft of the day was making blue bird houses. It went much smoother than I thought it would.


















Everybody finished their bird house and it was time to feed the chickens and make ice-cream.
