Cousin Camp 2009
Every summer my Mom and Dad host a camp for all cousins 12 and under. What a great time for the cousins to get to share together. I know all of the campers were thrilled to get to have ample cousin time.
Lexi ended up at the cabin at cousin camp time because of needing a ride home from Vegas. She was a great help to me and those Aunts who had babies. It was good to have her there.
Mam and Poppy with the group of campers.
Lily and her cousin Katie were our Jr. camp counselors. They did a fabulous job helping and directing activities. We were all grateful to have them!
Here are a few samplings of some of our activities: Writing in journals..
Even Nicolette and cousin Ella were thrilled to be included in activities.
This was a great activity, put on by Aunt Katie. We made terrariums and these turned out terrific. It's amazing what you can make from a couple of 2 liter soda bottles.

This was just getting ready for the big activity. Each year we have a camp theme. This year was...We Love Nature. We had nature journals, bug hunting, a nature scavenger hunt, "fishing", painting a huge tree with tiny hand prints for leaves, setting up a tent, and many more:)
Every cousin gets a certificate of camp achievement. Nicolette was very excited to be big enough to get her own certificate.

Ava's turn.
Lilli also received a certificate for being a great camp counselor.
In her spare time, Lexi was trying to convince each camper to come with her for a photo shoot. This is one of Lexi's favorite things to do,taking pictures. Here are just a few pictures of her models.
This is my darling nephew Ryan.

I do love this picture that Lexi captured of Ava with the yummy sunshine right on her hair.
Thanks to all for making another successful year of Cousin Camp!

That looks fun! Great photos, Lexi!
First off, my tree is really sad looking, sadder than I originally thought. Second, I cant believe you have it blogged already. Third, my kids are pretty stinking cute! Lastly, why is there no mention of the great chocodile debate? Did you see what Lexi sent me?
Her pics did turn out cute!
What fun!!! I wish I could go to cousin camp.
This is such a great memory for the kids and they will remember it forever!
Lexi your pictures are awesome!
Looks like another photographer in the family! What a cute camp! I'm so glad that Phil and Janet are so involved with their grands! Where is the Cabin? Looks beautiful!
The cousins DO love their time together. Lexi did a great job on her photos - though I was hoping to see some of her pictures of those blades of grass! :) Katie - your tree turned out awesome & the kids loved it & Kristy - you are welcome to come to cousin camp anytime! The more adults the better as you can see that we are sadly outnumbered!
Lexi is really good at taking pictures!
