"Grandma Camp"

Last weekend we made the trip to Grandma and Poppy's house. This was the long awaited week that Sophie joins up with her cousins and goes to Vacation Bible School. Our drive was uneventful except for the extra two hours sitting in traffic, but I have to say our girls are the best travelers ever. Once we finally arrived, about 9:30 the girls had to get some energy out so what else would you do...
get in the pool
and go on a firefly hunt.Early the next morning we took care of things of highest importance
like a pedicure,a dip in the pool,and fish inspection.Sunday afternoon we drove Sophie up to her final destination and she was off to VBS
(I'll post pics of her adventures or send you to my sister's blog.)
Back at Poppy and Grandma's house we just soaked in fun and family!
(One of my all time favorite pics.)
Great Aunt Sab came for a visit and played some soccer and basketball.

I had a blast getting into making hair bows while Granny supervised the kiddos!
Tuesday evening Dad fixed up my ride for my trip home alone.
Much more fun happened after I left. Haleigh is an old hat at staying without Mom around, but this was a first for Mackenzie. She did great for the first day and a half! During a trip to the zoo the girls got to play with a baby monkey. Haleigh thought is was hilarious that it was wearing a diaper.(Poppy always supplies plenty of Dilly Bars!)
Thursday night Poppy picked up a tearful Sophie from Aunt Gretchen's and they headed to join up with her sisters for the night. Then Friday (one day early-Mackenzie was crying to go home and Haleigh was crying to stay with Grandma) all the troops headed toward the meeting spot to get everyone back to home base.
(They did a super cute craft at Grandma's, it needs it's own post, that will be next.)
