Gramaw Camp 2008!!




Well if there is one thing I can say about my mother-in-law Beverly, it's that she loves her grand kids!! Every year for several years now she has invited all of her grand kids (and the moms )to Huntington WV to enjoy the thrills and spills of Gramaw Camp!! This is my 3rd year as a "Camp Counselor" assigned to the ages 2 & 5 division of the group. My duties consisted mostly of chasing, scolding, laughing and keeping them alive while inside a large cave. And I couldn't have had more fun. Ryan and Adelaide love their cousins and spending a week with them at Gramaw and PaPaws house is even better. We did a lot of stuff, activities everyday, but we also enjoyed the little things like watering flowers with Gramaw or sitting on PaPaws lap. Thanks Pete and Beverly aka Gramaw and PaPaw! We had a wonderful time!

things we did:
-YMCA pool complete with water slides and a diving board
-Carter Caves in Kentucky (the gift shop staff was sure happy for us to leave)
-The Putnam County Fair "A Great Place to Go for Your Next Nicotine Fix"
Ryan loved the dirt track races and the spinning ride, Adelaide loved the 4h animals (we even got an up close encounter with the supreme grand champion goat) and the boat ride
-The Discovery Museum
-Shopped for school clothes from Gramaw
-Saw Space Chimps
-Had a Birthday party
-Went for a ride in PaPaws canoe
-chased a beaver down a small fresh water creek
-ate a ton of treats (direct orders from the Camp Director herself) this was mostly for the kids but we grown ups got in on the treat eating action

Gramaw Camp always sounds like so much fun for the kids!!!! Pete and Beverly are wonderful. I know that my Ryan H. and Addieann couldn't have two better Grandparents. Thanks P&B and just think there are still more to come........
