He even wandered through the audience.<br />The actors used a YouTube recording of The Three Little Pigs for their show with commercial breaks. Costumes were minimal, just paper pig noses on a one inch portion of toilet tissue roll, ears on a headband and the wolf had a longer nose that included paper teeth as well.<br />The props were mounted on cardboard and were easily "blown" down. The extra bricks were boxes of mac and cheese wrapped with colored construction paper. The story ends a little different than the fairy tale. In our version, the third pig pays a backhoe operator to knock down the brick house! The curtains were closed and the audience was told that they did not want to see the mayhem a squeals and crashing is head from behind the curtain. Then we had wieners for dinner! <br />Each actor was given , not an Oscar or Grammy but a Granny award!<br />And of course, a pinata!

These FBI agents even learned a little about forensics. When we took their fingerprints to add to their ID's (that they had received as part of their 'official' letter inviting them to be a candidate of FBI training camp), a fingerprint was also put on a small square of paper. They had to record in their notebook whose print was on the paper by matching it with each others print in the ID. I had also put a few weird things on cards and put tape over them. Like hair, food coloring for blood, a fingernail clipping, etc. I wish I had spent more time on the 'Crime Lab'. It was fun and the kids really got into it.</div>

The GIANT slip n slide was a hit! These agents were fearless! Afterward, the agents had to detonate the bombs (black balloons) to find out the next activity. We made "I Spy" bottles. Small water bottles filled with rice and about 20 small odds and ends (safety pin, pompom, bead, pasta, penny, etc). Add a HOT GLUED lid and a label with the list taped onto the bottle. This is the take home craft along with the kit made from a dollar store binder pencil pouch (reusable in the future) with a webbing strap added. The kit held a magnifying glass, pencil and notebook, mustache, and sunglasses. We made binoculars by coloring toilet tissue rolls that the agents colored and then taped together and added a yarn strap.</div>

We had a 'badge pinning 'ceremony and called the agents up one at a time to receive their official badge and get a congratulatory hug from mom and dad. Then we went in the house to eat but..... There was a loud thud and a scream "Oh no! The butler had been murdered!" Hence the chalk outline (that had been concealed under the rug).</div>

The parents had all received invitations from 'The Butler' to attend dinner on pick-up night. Upon arrival they were each given a short description of who they were to portray and what their reaction should be when arrested for the murder of the butler! A very creative grandpa put together the interrogation room. A convincing looking battery was hooked up to the metal chair the suspect sat in. The accused had to place their hand in the pan of water on the table. There was also truth serum to drink and silly string to spray if the answer seemed untruthful. The parents were very involved and made it fun for the agents. In the end, the guilty party really hammed it up! </div>

We had a snack and then took a field trip to the museum. We had a good time and we learned a lot. It held the kid's attention for over an hour. Each of the kids had to pose with their head in the jaws of a hungry dinosaur!<br />

Every year I get a group photo that is displayed all year in a frame in the kitchen at the kids table. I wanted this years to be on the Sinclair dino just like the one of their older siblings and cousins. The only problem was when our very close station became a Texaco 2 weeks before Camp! My daughter-in-law knew that she had seen one several miles further North of the museum, so we loaded up and got the picture I <u>had to have.</u> Come to find out there were at least 3 closer to home!</div>

On the way home we stopped for lunch at a park with splash pad. When the water turned off to recycle the water, the kids went to the playground and played "hot lava". My assistant and Grandpa were a lot of help keeping an eye on them all.</div>

When we arrived back home, we had fun making the volcano erupt. I had made the volcano the week before Camp. I stacked upside down whipped topping, sour cream, and yogurt containers and taped them to a cookie sheet with a rim that could catch the "lava flow". Then I paper mached the whole thing and painted with craft paint. I had a small 2 oz. container that was nestled into the top of the volcano to hold the lava. I then placed small plastic dinosaurs, from a pack I bought at the dollar store, around the base so that the lava could bury them a make them extinct. Each child took a few turns making it erupt and then decided to let it dry out so that their parents could use it the next day.<br />

We made Stone Soup for dinner, adapting the story to cavemen and using Brontosaurus burger, club moss, etc. along with stones. Each child added a different ingredient and of course their own stone! I had the kids shape roll dough into dinosaurs before baking. As you can see the assistant archaeologists like to ham it up for the camera. The kids ate every drop of soup! Even the pickiest eaters will eat what they have cooked.<br />

The last time I used this theme, I had saved a few bones from a turkey, beef roasts, pork chops, you get the idea. We buried the bones in a garden grow box for the kids to find. Well this year we buried the bones of a half a cow! One of my co-workers had a connection to a slaughter house. It took my son in law and hubby several hours to get all the bones buried under the apple trees but it was well worth it! </div>

When it was determined that we had real archaeologic discovery, we decided that a real "site" had to be set up. We set up strings and numbered the bones and where we found them. Grandpa spun a yarn about having called the museum about our "discovery" and told the kids that it would be named Grandmalasaurus and would be in school textbooks! We placed all the bones on a tarp to figure out what we had.<br />

A plastic dinosaur was placed in the cement along with the handprint of our newest camper, Ariya.<br />

We made petroglyphs of glue, water, and sand with various pasta shapes on a plastic plate. This takes a while to dry and some went home wet. At least, I think they made it home without landing upside down in the car! <br />

The Pinata is always a hit! Pun intended!<br />
These boys each picked a bone to take home and then later worried that they should take them to the museum so that the "Grandmalasaurus" could be assembled correctly.<br />
<br />
I think I can call this camp a HUGE success!<br />

I had taken the option to order a book off the blog because there had been no requests for a log time. I have noticed a lot of visits and decided to offer it again! $17.00 includes shipping. Use the payment buttons for method of payment. Sorry for the not so good image! The book is 8 1/2" x 11" and is spiral bound so you can copy the needed pages. </div>

Some brought their own cars and there were also some that Grandma had borrowed. The first order of business was to stow the drivers gear and get on the same snack schedule. I had made brownies and cute them rectangular and used red yellow and green M&M's to make them look like traffic lights (Thank you Pinterest!). Talk about gone in 60 seconds!</div>

Up next was Grandpa acting as a used car salesman! He is always full of bologna so it was not much of stretch! And wouldn't you know the kid that is usually the one to find or make a mess was the one that "bought" the oldest and rustiest and wagon! No matter the condition, the price was a kiss and a hug for Grandpa. <br />
The older kids (aka pit crew) and grandpa had gotten together the night before and constructed a car wash. It turned out great! The prices are a little high, but that is to be expected when it is all hand wash and detailed!<br />

Now that the cars are clean inside and out it was time to add some custom detailing. I thought that the drivers would want elaborate whole body cut outs over the wagon but they carried out a much simpler idea and it worked out wonderfully. As long as there were flames, the boys were happy and as long as there was purple the girls were good, Libby really did make hers into a min van. The mom's and the pit crew the over 12 assistants) were a great help! The custom seating was the cushions from the patio chairs.<br />

We ate lunch and then took a drive on Route 66 (the nearby canyon) because it was time to move and have a change of scenery. It was cool in the canyon and the hike was short and easy. Once back to Grandma's it was time to race some Hot Wheels on the track that Braddock brought with cars that each boy brought from home. Dinner and every meal was finger foods (breakfast was French toast sticks) served in paper cups inside dollar store caddies that the drivers took home after camp. The caddies had three compartments and fir perfectly on the edge of the wagon. The popcorn, treat and drink at the "drive in movie" were also served in the caddies.<br />

Pool noodles wrapped around and through the banister made great marble race! The drivers enjoyed the traffic light ball toss too. The movie was Disney's "Cars" of course. We had two drivers that fell asleep at the wheel! (That's how you know there was enough activity for them!)<br />
The tent had previously been put up in the backyard and everyone fell asleep real fast.<br />
<br />
Day 2 Race Day!<br />
<br />
To beat the heat, we had the race around 10 o'clock at the elementary school close by. The original plan was to race all the way around the school but when we got there, the school was getting some new air conditioning and so we had to scale down a bit. This didn't hurt Grandpa's feeling at all since he ended up as the engine power for Libby! The kids worn their bike helmets, sunglasses or goggles and had a pit crewman to provide power and of course, be the pit guy! Each wagon was fitted with black (dollar store) paper plates over the tires so that the pit crew could change tires. <br />

The opening ceremonies were done as soon as all the kids had arrived. Each child except the two youngest, represented a country. The two youngest were each paired with an older assistant and represented the same country the older cousin. Each had a flag (pvc pipe with a plastic flag from a banner purchased from Partyland). We then ran the battery operated torch, also purchased from Partyland. Each cousin passed it off to the next running it around the house couple of times We ended at the back patio where the flags were posted for the remainder of camp. Since it was raining, we went to the church and did an indoor obstacle course. The older kids were a lot help and made sure that younger ones had fun and got lots of cheers.<br />

The teens took a nap while the younger ones got wet and then played. Upon returning to the Olympic Village, the athletes, did weight lifting (this was so that the weights could be put out of site and temptation!).<br />
these kids are strong!<br />

We have great neighbors that let us use their backyard zip-line. We likened this to Alpine sports. Wouldn't you know that the two youngest were not one bit intimidated! It is a fun activity that all ages enjoyed.<br />

The athletes helped make the breadsticks to go with spaghetti and salad for dinner. Different cuisine from a few different countries were the meals. I have found that if the kids help with the meal preparation, they eat better. Takes time, but worth it!<br />
It was going to rain during the night, so we were not able to sleep in the tent. I don't think the kids were disappointed as long as they got to sleep in their sleeping bags.<br />
Breakfast was French toast sticks and orange juice. It is a winner with the kids since they get to eat with their fingers and dunk it in syrup.<br />
Competition began after everyone was dressed. My assistants were on the ball and took right over. Grandpa was dubbed the scorekeeper, snuggler and medic. <br />

I have four this year and for the next couple years. It sure makes it easier. Grandpa just had a hip replacement surgery, so he is not able to do all that he usually does. He is trying to help as much as possible. <br />
When we got together, I hauled out the scrapbook of Grandma Camps past and had the kids look at the last time we did Olympics to get some ideas. They had fun laughing at how little they were back then. This will be the first year that we have repeated a theme ad I thought for sure that they would want to do entirely new things. To my surprise, they chose to do the same events and a few more! That made it even easier!<br />
I found some medals at the dollar store already on red, white, and blue ribbon. They are all gold though. If I get ambitious, I will paint some silver and bronze. Highly unlikely at this late date.<br />
Once again, my favorite prop to use will be pool noodles! <br />
The athletes will arrive and choose a country to represent from among the flags on a party decoration plastic banner. I will do some Internet surfing to determine which countries these flags are from and a little fun information on each one. Each flag is repeated on the banner which work out great since one flag will be attached to a dowel for the athlete to carry and post during opening ceremonies, and a second one to have pinned to each child's shirt as a uniform.<br />
We will be going to a slash pad to do an obstacle course and have lunch on the first morning. Then back home to do a few events.<br />
We will all cook dinner, the kids eat better if they are in on the prep. Each meal ill be from a different continent. We will emphasize eating well and staying hydrated.<br />
I haven't got a clue as to what movie about athletes would entertain them all (aged 15 to 3). But I will get it figured out soon.<br />
Saturday will be all fun and games! The camp will end with a the parents arrival at the medals ceremony where we will have pot luck dinner and piñata.<br />
I will put the games and pictures on after camp next weekend!Grandma Hooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14586442580478600949noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348701780159771680.post-9511008332967380582015-06-18T19:45:00.002-07:002015-06-19T12:38:47.844-07:00WE ARE LATE!<br />
Usually I have the older grandkids(over 12) join me for a few hours in the Spring to help decide on theme and plan for Grandma Camp! Can you believe that I have not been able to get 4 teenagers together for that long to plan? I bet you can if you have active grands like I do!<br />

He was just 3 or 4 when we last did it as a camp. He was out voted before, so this year we are going to do it!<br />
I know that all the kids will enjoy it, since all of those that participated last time did. Even though the picture is not the best, you can see that they had their own country, uniform (t-shirt), and lots of medals!<br />
Where we live, it has turned really hot, really fast. That will mean that we will have to plan some activities in the shade or perhaps a few indoors. <br />
I am excited to see what these kids will come up with! I just have to keep reminding them that we are on a budget! There are plenty of places and activities that we could do that would require money. I just cannot spend much and I want them to really use their imaginations and be resourceful.<br />
I am getting nervous because nothing is sett including the date!<br />
I will keep you posted.......Grandma Hooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14586442580478600949noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348701780159771680.post-69413694344702076502015-05-27T20:19:00.000-07:002015-05-28T06:02:23.587-07:00Graduation Gift<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A while ago I shared how we do birthdays. The first grandchild that has received enough pillowcases to make a quilt just graduated today! Making the quilt seemed like such good idea. Except I forgot one thing--I don't know what I am doing! It turned out O.K. but sure will start earlier for the next one! I backed this one with fleece so I would not have to use batting and it would still be warm. <br />

MEET DRU<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Last year two days after Christmas, our daughter's family welcomed a 3 month old angel into their family. Her name is Gracie Dru Symone Shipley. While she arrived with beautiful eyes and a captivating smile, she also came with a then undetected liver disorder. This disease is Biliary Atresia.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Because my daughter is much more eloquent than I, and has written their story so beautifully, I will link you to her blog <span id="goog_1629279951"></span><a href="http://lifelovelaughter5.blogspot.com/">here<span id="goog_1629279952"></span></a>. You will captivated by this girl's fight and beautiful spirit. Part of their story, and probably the hardest part, was the wait for a liver transplant. Because of her situation and the severity of the disease, a deceased donor was the only option. That liver never came. No one ever wished that another family would have to suffer the loss of a loved one close to Dru's age and size. In fact the reason I am posting this is because I wanted to make others aware of the need for pediatric donors. I myself would have cringed at the thought of making the choice, in the heat of the most horrific moments in a parents life, to donate a dying or deceased child's organs. But now, on the other side, I know that I would most certainly make that sacrifice. <br />

Our Dru (aka Little Miss Magic), passed away at the age of 14 months while waiting for a transplant. While it is too late for our little angel, your sacrifice might save more than one life. Please, be aware, and make others aware of the need for pediatric organ donors. We love our little Dru and miss her every day. Her organs were too toxic to be donated, but her parents would have if there had been a possibility.

This year my daughter had the idea to add a "Chopped" challenge. Everyone brought an assigned food item and then a 'surprise' ingredient was added to the mix. We divided into 3 groups. One group headed downstairs to use the wii, another in the kitchen to start the appetizer, and the third in the garage to use another wii out there.<br />

There are several pages of instructions that give you some guidance on things you may not have thought of such as a grab an go bag and medical permission forms. There are planning pages to guide you.<br />
I plan my camps around a different theme each year. I have shared 12 different themes. There are instructions for take home crafts, invitations, meal suggestions and a sample schedule of activities. <br />
<br />
There are tons of activities for each theme. <br />
<br />
All the ideas can be shortened for a birthday party or added to or stretched out for a reunion or longer camp.<br />
The book is 8 1/2 x 11, with spiral binding so that you can photocopy the patterns for crafts and invitations.<br />
In short, I have planned your camp or you!<br />
The themes are:<br />
<ul>
<li>Actors</li>
<li>Candyland and cooking school</li>
<li>Cowboys</li>
<li>Dinosaurs</li>
<li>Olympics</li>
<li>Outdoors</li>
<li>Pirates</li>
<li>Secret Agents</li>
<li>Theme Park (Grandma Land)</li>
<li>Under The Sea</li>
<li>Wild Safari</li>
<li>Young Astronaut</li>
</ul>

Every grandchild gets a one-of-a-kind homemade pillowcase with a new pillow from Grandma and Grandpa, with a little cash or gift inside. The pillowcases are to be saved and then the usable part will be made into a quilt for that grandchild when they graduate high school. We will see if Grandma actually follows through!<br />

The knights and ladies slept well in the castle (tent) after watching "The Sword and the Stone". Dinner was the drum sticks from the bunny that we destroyed! Who would know that there are enough drum sticks from a bunny to feed 8 kids and 2 adults!<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The competitions were fun!</span><br />

I have a round dining room table that we explained was for "The knights of the round table" but when it was discovered that all the knights could not fit around it, we put in the leaves of the table and it was oval, thus we were the "Knights of the not-so-round table".<br />

All meals were eaten with our hands and the food was served on platters and we had tin plates and goblets to eat on. Towels were used instead of napkins and the bread was torn apart instead of cut. I think the kids would like this type of dining all the time.<br />

The Fair Ladies and Noble Knights arrived at the castle on a bright and hot morning. Right away they were read the first quest from a scroll in the squire Patsy's bag.The mom's helped us get to the splash pad. They have all the car seats and extra pairs of eyes is necessary round water! We had a snack at the castle before leaving to get everyone on the same tummy schedule but ate at the park before going back. <br />

Getting the invites out proved to be quite a production! Since I wanted them to resemble a royal decree, I knew they had to be a scroll. I know that the post office will mail about anything--for a price! It was much more fun to deliver in person! Addie did one group and then the net day I dressed in the same outfit and went to three more houses! The kids and their parents got a kick out of it. The invite and the tunic bears our family "crest" which is a combination of each families first letter of their last name. The helmet is a 4 qt. ice cream bucket spray painted black and the face shield is the portion that was cut for the face.<br />
Grandpa was behind me as the kids answered the door he made the coconuts clanging together sound as I galloped forward! Is this how a self-respecting granny should behave? It was fun and I am always delighted that the kids are exited.<br />

Of the Monty Python variety! I figured I had better tone it down a little and do a milder version and call it Grandmalot after Camelot. we will have princesses and knights (ka nig its to Python fans). We will learn about the knights of the round table (I just happen to have a large, round, oak dining table) and about the various contests that were held at that time. The kids will have helmets out of gallon-sized ice cream buckets, javelins for jousting, and we will make a coat of arms flag. We have a family brand of sorts now that includes all the initial of all the families. We will be able to fly the flag at all family gatherings from here on out.<br />
The assistants really want to follow the movie line! We will do some of the things but some are so silly we will not be doing. Does anyone fully "get" Monty Python? We will have a long hunt for the "grail" that will include crossing a bridge (you have to endure watching the movie to understand). We will have catapults for a contest with the parents when they come to pick them up.<br />
Food will be pretty mid-evil too. Served on tin plates. Drumsticks, broccoli trees, anything to eat with our hands.<br />
There are still a lot of details to work out and schedules to figure out. Grandpa is in charge of silly and I will take care of the rest!

That means that flowers bloom and so do the ideas and plans for this summers Camp! The grown-ups (supposedly!) want to do "Monty Pythons Holy Grail". I don't think I could stand the sound of coconuts all weekend! I guess we could do a more logical twist and do knights (not ka nig its) and princesses. I bought the first swim noodle I saw t the dollar store last week in anticipation of needing lances. (or just about anything else, love them!) I will be having the older grands over this coming week to get the plans rolling!Grandma Hooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14586442580478600949noreply@blogger.com0
