Grandpa's Camping Too

What a super treat to have Grandpa O join us for the weekend. Keith and the boys picked him up on their way out & Mom met them there after her dinner with friends Nancy & Joan.

Pet Parade
What better way to enter a pet parade when you don't have any pets...use your stuffed animals. The boys were the talk of the town with their "Hillside Park Zoo" entry.


Zoo Keepers Curtis and Spencer had Lamby, SSSSSnake, Eel, Froggy, Monkey, a parrot, some fish, Feel Better Bear, Christmas Bear, and Spot, just to name a few.

Don't forget to stop & scoop...much more enjoyable with stuffed animals!

Joke: Why did the birds fly South in the winter?

Because it was too far to walk!


Everyone goes to the Beach


Hey guys, I've got a plan.

Let's go over there and....

Get Gary!

The Big 'Kids' even gave up the volleyball court so the little ones could have a go at it.





And the Ellinghams brought Sarah decked out in her pink teenage mutant turtle gear. She loves the water.

Catch

"Dad, can you teach/play catch with us?"



Words of wisdom:
"Watch the ball buddy & put your other hand on top of it so it doesn't bounce out".


Look what I caught instead

Curtis catches his first frog all on his own!


WATER FIGHT!!!

It all starts so innocently.
Boys will be boys, no matter how old they are.




Sherry tries to get even after they've included her and Sarah into the event.







Come on Steve, pick on someone your own size!

Maybe we can get even with the hose!







Steve tries to protect himself with Sarah... remember it didn't work for Sherry!

Oh and let's not forget Grandpa too! You can tell by these dripping wet clothes that 'Super Soaker' fun was had by all!
