Grandma Camp East 2008

Well, there you have it. Grandma camp was a huge success and I am honestly sad that it is over. Carl's parents drove down from the great state of Washington and whisked me and Hayden away to the beautiful state of Colorado where we met with Laurel and her kids in Breckenridge to spend the week at Grandma Camp East! For those who don't know what Grandma camp is, Carl's mother has for the past few years, spent a week in the summer with all of her grandchildren. They usually would go to her house up in Kennewick and do all sorts of fun activities with Grandma and Grandpa. However, since there is a new grand baby being born every 3 months or so, and since everyone lives so far apart, it makes it a little more difficult to gather the kids at the same time and same place, so this year she split it up, so the Utah residents and Colorado residents got to spend it together in Breckenridge, a beautiful ski resort in the mountains of Colorado. It was so fun! Hayden got to spend time with her cousins and I really enjoyed spending time with my in-laws. It was a great trip.

Before we left for Colorado, Mom and Dad McCain stayed with us for a few days and we got to celebrate Dad M's birthday! It was great to be with them



Yea for Aunts and Cousins!





Some fun activities
Getting the "lay of the land"

Picnic at the Park(Hayden is down behind the table)

Owl pellets, anyone?

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa McCain!
We miss you two already! I am really grateful for such wonderful in-laws to take me and Hayden on such a wonderful trip to spend with our family.

We are thankful for the McCains and for their love of our daughter and granddaughter. Sounds like you all had a wonderful time. I am so happy that Hayden has some girl cousins to grow up with. I am thankful for all the boy cousins too. Hooray for Grandma Camp.
