Cousins Camp, Session 2011:A

This past week Strider had the major treat of returning for another session of Cousins Camp.  '

This year, by all reports, was bigger and better than ever!  As per tradition, here is the interview with the attendee:

Me:  Strider, tell me in 7 words or less how Cousins Camp was this summer.

Strider: Well, let's see...

Me:  You only have 4 words left.

Strider:  Ummm....

Me:  3 words left...

Strider:  Ummmm...

Me:  You'd better start being careful!  Now just 2 words left!

Strider:  Really awesome!

Me:  Well that's good to hear. What were your favorite activities?

Strider:  Ummm, going tubing on the lake, and canoeing and jumping off the dock into the lake, and playing soccer with Ellie and Nonna and Poppa.

Me:  Is that it?
Strider:  I liked everything- - but those were some of my favorites.

Me:  So what else did you do?
Strider:  We played Mini-Golf, went to the Schiele Museum, went to Meg-Art, went to an awesome ice cream place called TCBY, and made California Rolls -- sushi.

Me:  What is Meg-Art exactly, and did you really get ice cream at a place called The Country's Best Yogurt??

Strider:  Meg-Art is a place where you paint pottery.

Me:  You liked painting pottery?

Strider:  Yeah, it was fun!   And then it gets fired in a kiln.

Me:  Did you do any other crafts?

Strider:  We made birdhouses.



 Me:  What does the banner say that you're holding in this picture (below)?

Strider:  The Best Cousins Camp EVER.  Strider and Ellie; Ava and Rayna; Branson, Kai, and Colsen.
Me:  So all 3 sessions of Cousins Camp are represented -- that's nice!    Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today, Strider.  I'm glad you had so much fun.  Now, go take a shower and get back to your chores.


As I'm writing this, Rayna is currently have a blast of her own during Cousins Camp, Session 2011:B, with Ava.  And then later this week Colsen will have a turn during Session C....  and then my parents just may sleep for a week afterwards!
