We spent a fun weekend at Grandpa's camp about 2 hours away. Leah and Ruby each brought friends along so we took two cars and set out on Friday afternoon. Our first stop was Baldinger's Foods From All Nations, where the girls all spent a while picking out penny candy, none of which is really a penny anymore, but they have a great selection of candy and the place is a lot of fun.
When we got to camp, the girls moved into their rooms, unpacked and showed their friends around the camp while I made tacos. When Russ arrived, we had a taco bar and some great cookies that Leah's friend made for the trip. Russ realized that I forgot to pack shoes for him so he headed into town for a pair of weekend shoes, and the kids watched Napoleon Dynamite. The girls were up pretty late Friday night.
On Saturday morning, Russ went out to get us doughnuts. Ruby and her friend awoke and wanted to wake up the other girls for four-wheeling. Russ took the four over to the garage to get them started, and they had a great time. The two friends took to it well. Virginia also had time to play with Daisy and take a nature walk with me. Russ, Virginia, Leah and Mallory were out on a trail and saw a bear and two cubs!
That night, we grilled shrimp, vegetables, and hot dogs. We had potatoes and watermelon, and then Uncle Craig made us a campfire for s'mores.
The next day, the girls took a little boat around the pond and Ruby and Sophia showed me a really, really tall tree stand. We climbed up fearfully and had a wonderful view. The climb down was a little scarier still!
The girls had fun scaring Daisy with a coyote skin that seems to live at the cabin now.
