Cousin's Camp is BY FAR the most looked forward to event in my kid's lives. Yes, Christmas takes a back seat to Cousin's Camp. Every summer all of my family gets together at Don and Monica's barn to celebrate being a family. The kids swim, do archery, trampoline, play the ukeleli, earn awards for having traits like ancestors (do you call grandparents ancestors?), put on a play, do crafts, listen to aunts' daily devotionals and an uncle's fireside, have cousin buddies, roast marshmallows... Are you understanding why Christmas is sitting in the back? Cousin's Camp is wonderful, and who am I kidding, we adults look forward to it too. Here are some highlights from this weekend's camp.
The "Crazy Bunch of Cousins" This year there were 21 campers.
Emma, Ruthie and Madi jamming on the Uke.
Sarah painted the backdrop for the play. This year the cousins re-enacted the love stories of all of the aunts and uncles.
Swimming time. It got hot this weekend, thank goodness for the pool.
Matthew took everything he learned at camp very seriously.
Monica helping Danny, Emma and Evan with archery. "Fire at Will!"
