Funneefarm Cousins Camp - day 1

Pappy and I arrived home at the Funneefarm with 6 grandkids in tow just a little after lunch time. We unloaded the cars and we were off to have a crazee time!

First was the treasure hunt -

The older kids read the clues -

Off to find the treasure -

Carly was the lucky finder!!

They gathered in the shade to check out the loot!

Cousins camp tee shirts, eye patches, drink bottles and candy!

Next we made aprons - it was really hard to take pictures and help the kids paint at the same time. The boys did theirs in a hurry and lost interest by the time I could get the camera out.Kaitlyn helped a lot with the little ones - then did her own when they were done and there was no one to bother her.

Creating buggy aprons

Carly hard at work.

Will post pictures of the finished aprons when we use them to protect us from our next project.

I put a pizza in the oven and tried to supervise them all inside and out: coloring, jumping, swinging, blowing bubbles and such while I participated in a mandantory webinar (something about documenting medications for respite clients, I think) for almost two hours.

Then. . . after face washing (sorry, no baths - they are on the agenda for tomorrow), toothbrushing and stories they were all tucked in and the last ones asleep by 9:30 - whew.

Day one complete.

Funneefarm Cousins Camp

A few weeks ago I sent each of my 6 oldest grandchildren the following letter. I have been planning and buying ever since. I think I am as excited as the grandchildren. Watch for my posts next week. I will try to take lots of photos and blog each night - if I am not to tired anyway.
Dear Kaitlyn, Carly, Dominique, Seth, Lexi, Aden:

You are invited to attend the first annual Funneefarm Cousins Camp in Greybull, Wyoming! There will be 4 fun filled days from June 16th-19th. This camp is for all Pappy and Granny Zito’s grandchildren that are 4 years old or older.
Some of the activities that you will enjoy are: A treasure hunt, swimming, target shooting with paintball guns, bed time stories about when your mom was little, fun songs, a hike, games, lots of crafts, a service project and of course a Cousins Camps t-shirt. There will be time to explore the Funneefarm and get to know your cousins. We will have pizza, ice cream, popcorn, s’mores, popsicles.

You will need to bring your swimming suit, clothes that you can get dirty in, an indoor sleeping bag if you have one. Try to learn a cute or funnee song that you can teach the rest of us.

Please return the enclosed card so we will know that you are coming.
We are so excited for Cousins Camp - hope to see you in a few weeks.

Love,

Granny and Pappy
