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.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
