We enjoyed a fun day with Camden and Maris on Friday. First, we made pink/purple pancakes (Maris' choice) with chocolate chips (Camden's choice). It is true that chocolate makes everything taste better.
Then we gave Camden and Maris seashells we brought from Oregon, and they listened to the sea.
Maris started with the pointed end in her ear, but soon figured it out.
Camden thought the seashell must be glass--not real--because it had a price tag on it. I think we convinced him otherwise.
We created funny faces in our "funny face books", one of our favorite activities.
We headed to a park we'd never visited--Castle Park in Fruit Heights. Camden gave it the seal of approval.
Camden took this picture of the dragon. Maris took a picture of the castle entrance. Maris took her tea set with her, so they enjoyed a short tea party before we headed to McDonald's.
Grandpa entertained everyone with a game about getting out of jail.
Maris was an extremely strict jail keeper.
When we returned home, Camden insisted on playing "Ticket to Ride" (a game for 10 year olds and older), so he and I spent a happy time learning how to play the game. He was quick to learn and played to the finish--about 45 minutes. I was so thrilled to have someone who wanted to learn strategy for a new game!
Maris wanted to play "Pretty, Pretty Princess," but decided it was more fun to dress up like a princess than to play a game about princesses. She modeled one of Alicia's dance costumes to be a purple princess.
What a fun day. We are so blessed to be grandparents!
