Summer Kick Off

Ever since my Grandbabies left me in April, I've been chomping at the bit to see them again. Just two more months, one more month, only a few weeks left, down to the wire, then finally, schools out for the summer. I didn't let the door hit me in the behind because I was outta there so fast it didn't have a chance.
Ten days of total bliss, I was in baby heaven.
"You kids have fun, I got this." Out the door I would send my son and his wife.
With the boys all to myself, we had Grandma time. I sang them my preschool songs,
played outside, fed them, bathed them, read books and did lots of giggling.
The only reason I came home was to prepare for Girls Camp.
I was the camp director for 8 girls between the ages of 12 t0 17.
The theme:
Once Upon a Time in Camp-A-Lot.
There were Sleeping Beauties, Ladies in waiting, Robyn Hood & Merry Woman
The Dragons, Fairy tale misfits from far, far away, Princess Brides, Maidens of the Round Table, Divine Damsels, Princess Warriors and as for my girls, they chose to be The Little Mermaids.
We ate
played outside,
sang,
And did lots & lots of giggling.
To say the least, I haven't had any sleep since school let out but
 considering the fun I've had, it's been a fair trade.

You are amazing. Taking on twins then taking on 8 young women at camp, yep amazing sums it up.

Those two little boys are so stinking precious I don't know how you can stand living so far away.

Oh, those babies are precious! Girls' camp sounds like it was lots of fun, and I'm sure you had a lot to do with it!

You are a super grandma. You are showing us how it's done and you're good at. I would even say a pro.
The girls must love camp with you at the helm. I love the theme and all the titles. Great stuff. Summer is really going fast in spite of the heat.

Take some time relax too.
Hugs,
JB

I still have not gotten over my kid moving away, getting a job, and living 2000 miles away. I don't know what it will be like if I ever have grandkids. You make it sound like loads of fun though so I will look forward to it. W.C.C.
