Cousin Camp 2019

Cousin Camp 2019 kicked off last Friday the 28th at Auntie Tessa's house. I loved our camp t-shirts this year.



We had 19 campers this year which was record attendance! 


Everyone went around and introduced themselves and said what their favorite candy was.


First off was decorating camp shirts.




Next up was the Chopped Junior type challenge. Theresa, Cody and I were the judges.



This one was just for the older kids who where split up into four teams. They had five minutes to collaborate on their plan and one minute to go into the kitchen for any additional ingredients they wanted to use. They were all given pre-cooked fajita chicken, lemons, goat cheese and peppers that they had to incorporate into their final dishes.




All the dishes were creative and tasty. We were really impressed with what they put together. Brynn and Sierra's team won with their breakfast burrito. It was excellent!


The littler kids put together Little Critter sandwiches featuring chips, pickles, marshmallows and chocolate syrup from the 'Bye-bye, Mom and Dad' book from the series. Several of them were brave and tasted their creations.


More tasty treats by way of a ten-foot-long ice cream sundae served up in a gutter! Tessa had this spectacular idea that consisted of two gallons of ice cream! It was so fun.













Winding down on the first day with fireside chats.



Day Two...or rather the second half of the 24 hours. :-)



The campers made family jump ropes and decorated door hangers and bookmarks.





Time for the group pic...in the rain. :-/ They were still happy campers, though. Probably because we hadn't gotten to the fear factor food challenge yet.



This year's line-up of delicacies included horseradish, Jacked Doritos, Limburger cheese, sardines, unsweetened chocolate, natto (fermented soybeans), sauerkraut and more.






Again this year Cayden, Sierra, Kota and Taelen powered through almost all the foods and Cayden and Sierra, I think it was, ended up winning again.

The younger kids weren't super excited about this activity and opted for a book with Tia.

Another Cousin Camp fav. This one always cracks me up.




Video recap:




We headed back home on Saturday, but stopped in Carrington on the way through to visit Grandpa and Grandma and hit up the Hi-way Drive-in. 

The girls were trying out a bike they found at Grandpa and Grandma's. haha.

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9! Photo Cred: Grandma Wanda In a shocking turn of events, most of the kids ended up in ...

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
