Maw Maw and Poppa's Top 10

After I posted my last blog I asked Maw Maw and Poppa to send me their top 10 from the camping trip with the grandkids---this is what they sent in response to Abby and Reese's top 10
Enjoy~


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!
