Grandma Camp 2008!

Every year Grandma & pa Hooper have all the grandkids for a 24-hour period and have Grandma Camp. This year's theme was Grandmaland. So the kids had to line up at the gate with their tickets that were mailed to them, to get into "the happiest place on earth". Then they had souvenier photos taken and a homemade version of Splash Mountain, now called Splash Alley at the Hooper's. Halarious, my dad woke my mom up at 2a.m. thinking of this one. Way to go pops, they got all the parents as they arrived the next day to pick up their now trained employees. We had to ride inside the wagon, guiding ourselves as grandpa pushed as fast as he could as we made our way around the driveway to the back of the house where there was a sprinkler going, Logan on the roof of the shed with another hose ready to spray the heck out of you, but what you couldn't see was all the little kids with buckets of water and grandma ready to take the unexpected photo of the reaction.

After we had dinner, or I should say Park food; Nachos, corn dogs, cotton candy, snow cones; we played games with the kids: Dart throw, ring toss, token on the dish throwing, and of course the infamous whack-a-mole. So fun!! I don't know what was scarier though, the Dad pushing you down the driveway in a wagon threatening not to hit his truck or the fence not knowing what was ahead of you, or that my kids know how to act like carnies now?!

Every year she calls and says, I hope the kids don't expect much, it's not going to be that great. But every year she out does herself! Way to go mom!
