Camp Grandma

Camp Grandma has come and gone.  It was a fun two weeks with Grandma (and Granny) hanging out in Hyde Park with us.  Once again, no pictures because I am really that lame.  Sigh.

Some highlights - 

1 - Everyone got their own lunch with Grandma.  William picked Cafe Rio, Tessa picked Olive Garden and Henry picked La Beaus.  Not too shabby.  

2 - Despicable Me 2 - apparently very cute and funny.  We may have to get this one on DVD when it comes out.

3 - Bowling - Not one, but two games - followed by Pink's Shaved Ice.  Grandma has much more patience than I do to allow two games of bowling.

4 - Hyde Park Days Parade - Once again, the Hyde Park 1st Ward Primary showed up to ride on our awesome float.  This year we had music and bubbles and all kinds of fun.  

5 - Swimming - We went to the Aquatic Center and to Sky View pool for swim time.  Grandma just watched because she forgot her swimsuit but she enjoyed just hanging out.

6 - Games - we played multiple games of Uno and SkipBo and Life.   The kids played Mario Kart with Grandma on the Wii.  Tessa especially loves this because Grandma is the only person she can actually beat at Mario Kart - they usually come in 11th and 12th.

7 - Jay's birthday!  Jay turned 47.  He didn't want any gifts because he had spent thousands (not really, it just seemed like it) of dollars on camping and backpacking equipment this summer but we had a nice cake and ice cream.    Again, no pictures.  Come to think of it, I better find our camera before we leave for our vacation next week.

So a good time was had by all with Grandma and Granny here for a visit.  Although we are sad that they live so far away, it sure is a good time when they are here.

Oh and look what I found - a video that was emailed to me of our parade float.  The song that we played is from the movie The Croods and is called Shine Your Way:

So July is almost over.  Coming soon - Henry turns 12.  Gulp.
