This past weekend Maw Maw and Poppa took the grandkids camping! I have such a hard time blogging about stuff when I didn't actually go so I have decided to let the kids help me do this blog.....this should be good!
Camping Trip Top 10--according to Abby and Reese:)
1. There was a big hail storm and we had to be in the "steadiest" house.
2. We ate hog dogs, biscuits, bacon and s'mores
3. Abby "almost" fell off the rocks.
4. Poppa's truck got a crack in his windshield because of the big hail. (he got glass all over him and was bleeding like crazy.....just kidding (Abby))
5. We all slept together and didn't go straight to sleep--we were wondering if the storm was gonna happen again or if the storm might happen again on our heads (?) ....their words not mine:)
6. When we climbed the rocks we wore helmets and rock tennis shoes (Reese)--and they tied us with ropes....??? (MawMaw and Poppa-- I am hoping this is when they were climbing right?:)
7. We found raccoon tracks.
8. (Reese) I told Abby, Charlie and Landry that the raccoon ate 2 marshmallows and he really did!
9. We got some spirit at a store.
10. We went into the woods and got in a muddy puddle where the raccoon tracks were and Charlie fell off the rocks.
*Wow the minds of our kids are quite random but this is the camping trip in their own words--
they thought this was so fun to watch me type their words as they told me...too funny!
Thanks Maw Maw and Poppa for taking the kids they had a wonderful time and I know will always cherish these memories!
**Maybe you guys could send me your top 10 and see how different they are??:) --just a thought!
Note from Greg- I bet the hail storm was a trip after getting "spirit's" at the store!
Note from Becky- Sorry I misspelled SPRITE my bad:)

MawMaw & Poppa's top 10:
1. Picking up 4 grandchildren so excited to go camping.
2. Abby navigating. She always checks the map & tells Poppa how to get to our destination.
3. Reese telling Poppa, "Poppa, I didn't quit!"
4. Charlie & Brer Rabbit pulling the sun out of the bottom of the lake (with a wink)!
5. Landry the Little Big Dog climbing a little higher than he thought he could (or really wanted to!) He was always looking for a way to help--picking up bags to find one he could carry--even when no one asked him to.
6. 4 cousins all so excited to be together, hugging & encouraging each other.
7. 4 grandchildren all pitching in to help unload & load Poppa's truck, set up camp, cook & clean up. Hearing, "What can I do to help?"
8. Hiking and "discovering" together.
9. 4 brave grandchildren while riding out the hailstorm in Poppa's truck! They didn't whimper or even act scared. We just prayed for God to protect us & show Poppa where we needed to be. And they were so good while we waited out the storm in the office that the Rangers gave them the run of the place!
10. S'mores at the campfire & a bacon & biscuit breakfast.
11. (Oops, did we have to stop at 10?) Bedtime hugs, kisses & stories. (& 4 grandchildren who were so obedient in going to sleep!) Early morning "cock-a-doodle-do's" to wake up Poppa.
12. Abby jumping off the 30 foot rock into the lake. (Just kidding!)
13. Abby, Charlie, Reese & Landry all so big--trying their hardest, keeping their heads, not quitting & being good sports (& good encouragers) rock climbing!
what a fun trip. do you all do something fun while you were kidless for the night?
why yes we did do something fun Catherine--we had dinner and then went to the mall to protect our car from the hail-storm:) After all the storms were over Greg insisted we stay out late since we always have to be home (bedtimes:) --and we did try to do that but there was really nothing to do since everyone shut-down to get home before the storms:) So instead we rented a movie and hung-out at home--hehe!
Good times!
