Grammy Camp - Watercolor Artwork

by Ava

     Watercolor is supposed to be difficult.  Granddaughter Ava makes it look easy.  She has talent for sure! (Spoken like a true-blue grandmother.)

(My two koi fish look more like an orange seal and an orange shark, but, heck, they do resemble aquatic creatures.  We had fun and
that's the best part!)

Annual Grammy Camp was a success, once again!  Granddaughter Ava and I tried new activities, made new crafts, cooked and ate what we cooked, and laughed more than we have ever laughed before.  That's the best part of Grammy Camp, after all. Here are some pics from the good times we shared!

P.S. Our only activity "fail" was making our own lip gloss from a kit.  Well, in a pinch, maybe it wasn't a complete fail.  I mean, if your lips were so parched they were cracked, the lumpy wax bits, which didn't melt, might offer just enough grease to sooth any blisters.  Nah.  It was a fail. But it was still fun. 

Grammy Camp

If you've wondered where I've been this past week since my last blog, I've been to Grammy Camp!

For those who don't know, Grammy Camp is here on Amelia Island.  I'm Grammy and our granddaughter, Ava, is the camper who attends annually.  And do we ever have fun!

This year we composed and performed the Grammy Camp Cheese Song, to the best of our ability, always to the best of our ability, made a braided rug from tee-shirt scrapes, attended a Spaghetti Western dinner theater show, ate wienies at Ava's favorite ice cream shop, DeNucci's, swam at the beach, swam in the Rec Center pool, made jewelry, baked coffee cake and chocolate pudding cake, attended a magic show and starred in the finale, took Abby, the singing Chihuahua to the vet for her annual shots, ate the best, Ms. Carolyn's, and the worst breakfast out, ate at the DooWop Diner, played Island Adventure miniature golf, bought two new swim suits, visited the library twice, played cards and checkers on our handmade board, crafted-- We were so busy, Ava wrote a check list of activities to keep us straight. We completed only 75% of them because we just ran out of time.  We can add what we missed to next year's list.

So stay tuned.  I'll be blogging a few of our most creative projects here soon.  And remember, the secret watchword for this year's camp is CHEESE!
