Grandma Camp events and pictures

Welcome to the Grandma Camp events and pictures webpage.

Ryan and Tyler were at Grandma Camp for nearly two weeks in November, 2008 while their parents were in the Caymans. Ryan is 2 1/2 years old and Tyler is 8 months.

Nov. 3 - Monday. First full day at Camp. Mom and Dad were here in the AM then headed back to Minnesota.

Election day and the first morning without Mom and Dad to help with the early chores. The main Camp activity of the day was a visit to the polls to vote.

Wednesday was pretty rational - we are all getting used to the routine. It was another nice day and great-aunt Betty came to visit the kids.

Thursday - cloudy weather, not such a nice day to play outside. The outing for the day was visiting Grandpa at work. Late in the day Grandma and Ryan went to Houghton to do a bit of shopping.

Friday - Arts and Crafts day at Camp. Not really a good day to play outside anyway.

Saturday Grandpa was gone all day so Grandma had the kids to herself all day. It wasn't a good day for playing outside with cool temps and rain and snow throughout the day.

Sunday - Snowy and cool, a nice day to be inside at Grandma Camp. Grandma and Ryan went to town for boots and slippers in the morning but were home to catch the Packers game in the afternoon.

Monday it looked like winter outside, so we organized some play tim in the snow. The snow was too dry to make a snowman but Ryan had a good time throwing snowballs.

Tuesday. Veterans day is normally a day to make fruitcake. That didn't happen today, but Grandma did make cookies with Ryan.

Wednesday - It was a cool, rainy day, not a good day to play outside. We got a lot of things done inside, including a lot of playing.

Thursday - Another rainy day. Pretty routine, with Grandpa gone in the morning and home in the afternoon. We went out in the evening and got a sitter for the kids.

Friday - This was a day for Ryan to make a new friend. Jack Davis, who is a year older than Ryan, was here for an hour or two to play. After a slow start, they had a great time.

Saturday - A busy day. Ryan helped bring in wood in the morning then helped press cider in the afternoon. And, both kids helped pick out a Christmas tree. Mom and Dad arrived late in the day.

Sunday - A short day, but busy. Mom and Dad cellected their charges and headed home at about 1pm.
