Grandma Camp!

My mom had a Grandma camp for all the grandkids last week. They had to be potty trained to go, so sadly Emma couldn't attend, but Cayden had a blast. I dropped him off Tuesday Morning and they played in the back yard, had lunch, and then went to the AF pool to go swimming. They got to stay up late that night, and Grandma surprised them all with matching pajamas. The next day they played games in the backyard, had lunch at Wendy's then went to the Discovery Gateway museum. Cayden loved the museum and said it was his favorite part of the whole camp. On the way home from the museum they stopped at "The Mayan" for dinner. This is Cayden's favorite restaurant so he was thrilled. They stayed up late again, and the Grandma fairy came that night to give them presents. This is something my grandma did for me and my mom's grandma did for her. Now my mom is doing it and the kids love it. Whenever they sleep at Grandma's the grandma fairy comes and leaves them a present under their pillow. My mom tells them that the fairy lives in her perfume bottle, which is what I remember my grandma telling me as well. The grandma fairy brought them each a toy, Cayden got a transformer, a treat, and $5. Can you say spoiled? Then on Thursday, they got up and Grandma had matching t-shirts for the boys that said Grandma Camp 2008 on them. They had a water balloon fight and then went up to hike Timpanogos cave. They loved the cave, and I think Ron only had to carry Cayden and Cort about half the way (poor Ron). that is a hard hike though, and I am proud of them for making it. After the cave Grandma had one last present for them, it was a couple of Learing CD and workbooks. Cayden came home exhausted. He had the time of his life, didn't take a nap for 3 days, went to bed at 11 for two nights and hiked up to the caves. We were eating dinner and he was laying on the table begging us to go to bed. I am so glad that my mom has done this with the kids. Cayden had so much fun and will always remember this time with his Grandma.
