Please sign the following pledge:

I hereby accept the job to HAVE fun and BE fun at G n’ G’s Cousin Camp. By_______________, Camper.

This pledge needed to be signed by each camper in order to gain entry into the Cousin Camp Bill and I had prepared for them this past week.

I posted the signed pledges on the bulletin board for all to see—–just in case one forgot. One can never tell with kids in ages ranging from 15-8.

This pledge is mostly is for fun, but in a way also a reminder of their part to play in the success of our camp. If there is anything these young people can learn at family gatherings is that it takes work on everyone’s part for us to enjoy each other and have joy and success.

The ‘good’ life and a fun camp do not just happen. Only chaos happens. Everything else in life is effort, grace, humor and forgiveness.

Enough lecture, onto the fun!

Our neighbor graciously granted permission to the boys to fish a dinner from his pond. They were so excited at that idea their parents said they could hardly sleep the night before camp.

Play time with Buster and HoneyPie were exciting for them. HoneyPie kept a close watch on our eldest g’son for frisbee time.

Our DIY project fit my requirements exactly; easy to make, can be enjoyed by all, and gets used up. What is it? Beeswax candle making.

They did have to ‘do some time’ though. For one-half hour we worked weeding one of my messiest gardens. Hurray!

The BIG surprise was an Escape Room—Escape from Mordor. Though a bit of artistic license was taken with the storyline, it was a huge hit! Thanks mostly to our son who played Gandalf and made it all the more terrific!

The final day of camp held a couple more activities for them before meeting their parents and camp was over.

Did they fulfill their pledge ‘have fun’ and ‘be fun?’ Yes, indeed so. We just may have to do this again sometime—once Bill & I recuperate!
