When I was younger my Grandma Ferguson started a fun tradition called Cousin's Camp! Kind of like a reunion, only her grandkids would sleep over but the adults would come back during the days and help with the activities and enjoy the day! We would go three days and 2 nights! It was a blast and one of my fondest memories! So my Mom decided to do one for her family, we had it all planned out for the last week in June and then unfortunately Felicia and the kids got exposed to the corona virus so they were on quarantine! My Mom went through with it anyways and then ended up planning another one for the first of August so those kids didn't miss out!

After everyone arrived Grandma went over a few things and I loved how attentive the kids were!
Next it was time to make our trail mix bags for the hike later!
The kids had a blast filling their bags full of nuts, chocolate, pretzels and craisins!
Next we decorated water bottles that the kids could keep filled up and they had their names on them!

Camille's
Baylee's
Carter's

After they decorated their water bottles they got to decorate a hat!
Stockton just liked to squirt the paint!
After hat decorating and because of Covid grandma went over the proper way to wash hands she even had special soap and a blacklight so they could see where they missed!
Then it was time for lunch! Hotdogs and potato salad!
After lunch we headed up to the reservoir and climbed the rocks! The kids had a blast finding the ins and outs of the honeycomb rocks!

Did some crafts!

Pushed Miles around in a box car!
Next we played a game where you felt the object in the box and you had to try and guess what you were feeling! Some of the faces these kids pulled was pretty hilarious!
Next Grandma bought a bunch of candy bars and we taste tested them and tried to guess what they were! The kids loved this game!
Before the big dinner to end the Cousin Camp festivities Grandma handed out the cousin camp shirts!
Trying to get a group picture was very difficult!
