Cousin Camp 2021

To that that the cousin campers were ecstatic to be back at Cousin Camp this year is an understatement...at least I know for the Froemming cousins that was the case. They were crushed last year when we weren't able to have it. This year's theme was the Olympics. 

My cousin dropped her granddaughter off at our house Thursday afternoon so she was able to ride with us to camp. It was so great to have her this year!





We had the usual schedule of running from 2:00 on Friday until Saturday at 12:30. 


Before the opening ceremonies, the campers decorated their camp shirts and team flags.




After that we got into the team competitions first of which was a frozen shirt contest where each team sprayed warm water on a shirt that was frozen into a pan until it was thawed enough to put on one of your team mates. It was girls against boys and the girls took that one.



One of my favs...Cheeto Hair!


I love the cooking challenge as it is so neat to see what the kids put together. They did not disappoint this year either.



Tessa resurrected her gutter so we could reprise the ten-foot gutter sundae again. The campers really go wild for that one.

Chubby Bunny



Brynn was victorious for the second year in a row.


Day Two we started out with a craft which all the kids seemed to enjoy.



After the craft we did more games, but on an individual basis this time.

The most entertaining event was these bebop balls. More of that in the video at the end. Camp Counselor Tessa I went head to head and I gotten taken down early on. Super fun, though.


Prepping another counselor fav, Fear Factor Food Challenge. Tessa was cookin' up some flaming Cheetos mac and cheese and I was sauteeing some tofu. Bon Appetit! 

Ben was proud that he made it to the end this year. Well done, campers!

Winners!


Cousin Camp Time Capsule

The girls started to attempt to dig the whole for the time capsule, but ultimately decided to have Chad use some equipment to make the job easier and faster. The plan is to dig it up in 20 years!

2021 Cousin Camp Counselors! 

Of course we had to get Rosa's for dinner on Saturday night. :-D 

Sweet girls hanging out by the fire on Saturday night.



We all sure had a blast and are so grateful that Auntie Tessa was willing to plan and host camp again this year.

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!

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...
