CGL goes prehistoric




Day 3 of camp we all went Dinosaur hunting. Lucky for us we had some pretty fierce warriors along.
We laugh in the face of danger. HA        







When we weren't fighting we were playing games, like "who can pick up the most dino eggs (or whoppers) with their dino-head.
or Dino-races....
 



We learned the lost art of spear throwing...
& spear retrieving...

we excavated....


& painted...
napped...
we dinned on crickets,
& dogs...


In the end we never did capture the dinosaur but we sure did look good trying!
Good Bye to the Land Before Time, we are off to....
WORK ON OUR KNIGHT MOVES?!

Walk like an Egyption

Day 2 of CGL...we are off to Egypt come along, if you dare.....
Gramma Luvlee has a dark side to her. She likes to scare little children! Well she likes to scare anyone but she'll take what she can get. Every CGL has a scary day this year it was in Egypt because what isn't scary about a dead Cleopatra, a mummy looking for his stolen heart and the Faro?! We started the day off with a treasure hunt looking for the mummies stolen heart. It was supposed to be only a mild scare used to scare the little kids enough that they would not want to come to the night treasure hunt that would scare your Mama! This worked for most kids but not Jett, he braved both treasure hunts. Only 4 of the ten campers did not make it through the first "haunted house" hunt (two of those did not even make it through the first door). Jett using the map to show us were to go. After the treasure hunt we put on some Egyptian garb & Merrill taught us about mummies.
The hunt that night was for "adults" only (kids over 8ish & Jett). There are no pictures because it was at night. It made Merrill scream like a girl and Jett was so scared he had to go sit in the car with Papa (I won't tell you how I behaved but it wasn't pretty!). We'll Gramma you accomplished what you set out to do....
We enjoyed our stay in the land of pyramids but we must be off tomorrow we go back in time to the land of Dinosaurs!

the 60's part II

more fun pictures from day one of camp for your viewing pleasure..... All the older kids were in charge of one younger kid. Rex is feeling great about this. These are our peaceful protesters. Rex made my favorite sign, it says "heck no we won't I am not going I am good."and the bad guys, we'll call them "the man". Some trippy pictures of our hippies! the babies didn't get to participate much but they made for a great photo opp. Kamryn and Korbi proving that Brown blood runs deep. You guys sure rocked those boots! Nancy Sinatra would be jealous. We LOVED the 60's but can't wait to see what our crazy professor has in store for us tomorrow.

You've come a long way baby!

Happy 1st birthday Asher! It does not seem possible yet Asher was born a year ago! He is not ready to act like a one year old yet as he does not have any interest in walking (thankfully) or saying any words, he prefers to be hand fed and still loves to be carried. He is such a happy little boy. He loves cruisin around the house looking for his brothers and hoping that they will play with him. He especially enjoys the stairs even though he has fallen down them more than I would care to admit. He loves Rex's blocks, grocery stores, dogs, Winnie the pooh, dancing to music, his blankie, playing in water, he loves to splash but does not want you to splash him, his stuffed dog, watermelon, other babies, his brothers and he is definitely a daddy's boy. Whenever Ryan gets home he shrieks with joy (literally). We are so happy that he is our little boy, he brings sunshine into our home and we could not imagine our lives without our little Asher Lev! Asher 1 month. He was in the 0 percentile (now the 90th)My first try at fondant. Thank heavens for a brother with some talent in the artistic department. Thanks Trevor! I love all the funny faces Asher makes. This is his excited face! Lot's of help opening presents! Enjoying some cake. Asher's first trampoline experience with Grandpa. He was not in love with the idea of it. He would cry when any one would move. Fun right! This is his yelling face. When he doesn't agree with something you are doing (especially tickling him) he will yell at you.
