COUSINS CAMP 2012 -- Sunday
The cousins had decided that they wanted to go to the 8:30 worship service. So we told them that they would need to be up by 7 o'clock for breakfast. We heard an alarm go off at 6. I don't know how, but they were all awake at breakfast. And we got to church early.
Luke chose Casa Ole for lunch. We all ate too much, which I always do there. It's all those chips we eat before the meal comes.
When we got home the kids had a very short game of 42 after which everyone found a place to take a little nap. Everyone but Luke and Gracie.
Misty lay on the couch all afternoon, but when I asked her how she felt, she'd say, "I'm fine."
A little swimming, a little 42. A lazy Sunday afternoon,
Grandad cooked hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. And Luke chose oatmeal whoopie pies for dessert. They were yummy.
The movie of the night was Clue.
I'm going to put on my "I mean it" face tonight and insist that they go to sleep. There are enough corners in this house for all of them. Hee, hee, hee.

Cousins Camp 2012 - Saturday
The families got to the ranch just in time for lunch. Misty had chosen tacos for lunch. We fed the parents after which they left us alone with five teenagers and a 10 year old.
The cousins donned their swimsuits and jumped in the pool. This will probably be the last year for this little pool. Grandad has been patching the patches. And the water is only waist deep for Kyle and Daniel. But the kids have fun in it anyway.
When they got out of the pool they had a rousing game of 42 and then a game of Monopoly. I love the sound of kids in the house.
For several years we've been playing a game of hide 'n seek with the M&M jar. The grandkids always trick me into telling where it's hidden. So this year Grandad put the M&Ms into four bags and hid them with clues enclosed to lead them to the next bag. At this time we are at a standstill. Someone has found the 4th bag but isn't telling.
The kids had a hard time deciding where to eat tonight. They finally decided on CiCi's pizza. We drove to Killeen and went into CiCi's. Grandad reached into his pocket -- no wallet. So we drove to Cove and went to Black Meg's for hamburgers. A good choice. Now every time we get in the car, one of the kids will pipe up and say, "Do you have your wallet?"
Another game of 42 and a movie. We got the bedding arranged and head for bed. The kids had a hard time settling down. I don't know what time they got to sleep.
