COUSINS CAMP COURIER -- Monday, July 26, 2010

Grandad roused the troops this morning with his school bell. They slept well and long last night.

After a breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes, sausage, and bacon, we loaded up for our annual trip to Topsey Exotic Ranch.




This guy threw rocks at us.

The real attraction at the Exotic Ranch is the camels.




The kids aren't as afraid of them as they used to be. But they like to run and scream anyway.







Water buffalo are fun to watch as they sink below the water.



Supergirl really liked the ponies and wanted to pet one.




Summer offered her bag of feed to the ostrich, careful not to let him get her fingers.






After we left the Exotic Ranch, we had lunch at Taco Bell, Summer's choice.
When we got back home we were all ready for a little down time. We watched the movie The Apple Dumpling Gang. Some of napped through part of it.
Some of us watched TV, some played Rummikub, and some played computer games.
Then it was time to do some more work on the tree house.
Remember the tree that grew through the tree house? Grandad cut it down.







Then the kids started putting down the new flooring.













Can you tell the difference between the old and the new?
The kids played in the pool. They have a good time even though it is such a small pool.
We had frito pie for supper with strawberry cheesecake for dessert. We'll all be dieting next week.
More tomorrow.

I love how Gracie is using her carseat as a shield. And I really hope that camel didn't drool in my car...
