Grandma Camp - Day 2

Sunday at Grandma Camp is of course much more subdued.  Sleeping in until 8:00 am and a biscuit and eggs breakfast to start the day.  We had an enjoyable time at the Skyline Ward, sitting with Grandma and Auntie Alyssa in Sacrament meeting while Grandpa conducted. Then primary for Lydia with Auntie Alyssa as one of her teachers and Ellie off to meet new friends in her class.  After the block it was time to bake some cookies while waiting for Grandpa to come home.  After a nice big Sunday dinner of pork roast and mashed potatoes it was game time!

While Mousetrap has a compelling apparatus it lacks an interesting game play, so it was fun to set up but not really to play ... although it served the purpose of distraction while Grandpa finished the dishes prior to excursion to Great Grandma's for beading with the Great Aunties!

A highlight for Ellie was that the Aunties had scored several dresses at a garage sale that happened to be Ellie's size and a spontaneous fashion show erupted ...


And Grandpa learned that a fashion show with Ellie is more like a sporting event that a portrait sitting in terms of the camera work ... far more movement than I had anticipated (note the many blurred body parts and bodies)

Then it was time to be creative in the making of beaded jewelry ...


While Ellie was the first to be done, Lydia was also ready to wrap up long before Grandma and the Auntie Joannie had re-organized the beading supplies and we were ready to return home to Grandma's house and beds.

Another fun day at Grandma Camp 2009!
