Grandparets Camp '09

Every year since 2006 the grandkids 5 & up get to go to Grandma & Big Daddys for "Grandparents Camp". It's for 2 days and 2 nights and the kids look forward to it all year! They play, swim, hike, eat, work, make crafts, and have fun all in their swim clothes! This year there were 13 grandkids in on the fun. The 7 younger ones stayed with the moms and dads and we called their time "cousins camp". We all hung out at the Duggers in Searcy. The little ones got to swim and play together. Everyone did great and it was such a blessed time! We all came away from these few days together energized and blessed!

Marc sunbathing? I took this picture because it didn't make much since to me either.
Krimson & Marc. She had so much fun jumping off the diving board and going down the slide!

Adam climbing the rope. He didn't make it here, but during grandparents camp he made it all the way to the top and then dropped off the cable into the water. He was so proud!
Charis & Eden! Eden was very interested in Charis...I think they will be good buddies!
Adam going off the rope swing! (Big Daddy added the diving board this year!)
Jude & Marc jumping off the raft! Jude spent most of his time here!
Elizabeth & Eden!
Micah & Eden!
Elizabeth & Charis/Micah & Eden! Elizabeth & Micah do such a good job with the little girls.
Marc spent most of the day as king of the raft, but he was De-throned more then he would like to admit! Here is one of the times all the boys teamed up to get Marc into the water. These kids are getting bigger and better...the dads are going to have to step it up!!
Krimson playing in the sand!
One of the few times Jude's feet touched ground while we were in the pond.

Looks like so much fun! I bet your mom and dad were pretty pooped after that. I had fun trying to figure out whose kids were whose since I haven't seen any of Hannah's that I know of. Marcie and Todd's were easy to spot and so I think I figured it out! What a great family. I especially liked seeing Marc on the float trying to catch krimson off the diving board. It was good to see him actually in the water later on! Hugs!

Wow, can I be a Fouts grandkid for camp? That looks like so much fun! Love seeing pics of all the grandkids. I had a little trouble figuring out which boys were Angie's and which were Marcie's..haven't seen them in so long. Nick's daughter in the top left corner of the pic in the green shirts looks EXACTLY like you!
