COUSINS CAMP 2012 - Tuesday

The alarm clock went off at 6:30, and at 6:40 and still not a peep out of the kids.  A different alarm went off at 6:45 and at 7.  I finally heard a little movement.  They were up at 7:30.

In our Bible time we talked about love, peace, and joy.

Today was a breakfast sundae morning.  Yogurt, cereal, toasted almonds, toasted coconut, pineapple, banana, granola, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, and lots and lots of whipped cream.

After cleanup the crew headed for the tank to fish.  I forgot to mention that Daniel caught some on Sunday, and he and Misty caught some on Monday.  They all went this morning.

When they got back to the house, we all just hung out playing with our phones.  The kids watched goofy videos.  Kyle introduced Grandad to Pandora, so he just sat around with his headphones on and patting his foot to the music.  It doesn't take much to entertain this bunch.

Daniel chose Bush's Chicken for lunch.  We had our fill of chicken, okra, mashed potatoes, and sweet tea.  They were full and happy.

Back at the house, Grandad got out the supplies for a little project he had planned.  It turned out really well, but I'm not telling what it is.

The kids played a game of croquet, ate watermelon, and took a dip in the pool.

We had make-your-own pizzas for supper.  After we cleared the table, Grandad and I gave the kids a glimpse into our lives beginning with their great grandparents down the family tree until they were added.

Our friends the Greenes called to ask if they could come over to bring us a Jerusalem melon.  When the kids heard that, they got busy cleaning up the living room.  All their bedding was still in the floor, and they had been wrestling and horsing around, so it looked like a storm had hit.  While we went outside to meet the Greenes, they worked a miracle in the living room.  It was neat as a pin.  I refuse to look in the office where they stuffed everything.

You would have been proud of them.  They shook hands with the Greenes and were on their best behavior.  They were excited about having Jerusalem melon for breakfast.

We have a prankster or pranksters in our midst.  They played a real doozy tonight.  But it has to be told in person.  You'll have to wait.

As I write there is a 42 game in progress.  We'll try to get them to bed at a reasonable hour.  Daniel reads them to sleep.
