Every summer, my husband and I host our grandchildren for several days of jam-packed FUN. We call it "Mimi & Grandpa Camp." We pitch a tent in the living room, and that's where they sleep. All of them. I plan different outings each summer, along with crafts, music, games, cooking, and Bible story activities. Here's a list of things we've done:
- Observe sharks, stingrays, seals, and penguins at Moody Gardens Aquarium, Galveston
- Miniature golf and bumper boats
- Swimming and water basketball in our backyard pool
- Story time at the public library
- Ride the carousel at the mall
- Make homemade ice cream.
- Choose new hairstyles for Saige and Caroline at the American Girl's doll salon.
- Paint pottery for their mom's birthday
- Tie dye shirts using neon colors- lime, orange, and fuchsia.
- Jump, slide, and giggle in the bounce houses at Jump N Jungle
- Play Bingo. Winner gets a dollar store prize!
- Watch movies and eat popcorn. Mary Poppins is a favorite.
- Scrapbook
- Sing Scripture songs to memorize Bible verses.
- Read Bible stories.
- Make puppets and put on a show.
- Praise dance until we drop!
