This week was Camp Nelson for 5 year old Brody (son of Andy & Kristin) and 9 year old Sofe (daughter of Carole & David). They camped in the living room and thought that was pretty cool. We knew we were going to have our hands full with these two, so Jenna (Gene's daughter that lives in Hong Kong, but who is in KS for summer break) came with the kids. Another set of eyes is always a good idea.
Pop Gene took the kids to a local creek where they caught frogs and chased crawdads. This is a small part of it, there are pools along the way that the kids could swim in. They loved the mud! We also boated to Sandy Beach where everyone swam and floated around on noodles. Jenna even decided she'd like to ski, so she did!
Sofe forgot her belt, so Pop Gene made her a hillbilly belt. It works.
This was one of the funniest moments, Lawrence was "relaxed" and "things" sort of just drop down, which Brody noticed. His reaction was priceless! I tried to explain this to him, as best I could to a 5 year old, and when I reminded him that he had one too, he yelled "BUT NOT LIKE THAT!" Gene is still chuckling over it.
They brought home 2 big catfish from the trot line. Suddenly Sofe realizes just where food comes from. She did not eat fried catfish that night. We enjoyed ours!
Everyone had a good time and I'm sure the kids will be back next summer. We were exhausted!
