Camp McNeill day four:
Since Logan didn't have Summer Pride I let the kiddos stay up as late as they wanted to and veg out watching movies. They got all snuggled in the living room in their tents/forts/couches and started their movies. We popped popcorn, had cheese and crackers, popsicles, chips, and tortillas. Good times! I went to bed at 11:00, Rylee was asleep on the couch so I moved her to her room. Went to check on them at 11:45 and Logan was gone, asleep in his room, Russell and Cody were passed out in their tents. Turned off the TV and went to bed. They say they stayed up until 1:00am but I know different!
Woke up late on Wednesday morning and had pancakes. They got dressed and headed outside. Russell has really gotten into baseball and wants to play all the time, which makes Cody happy because that's all he wants to do too. Logan hooked up the pitching machine and off they went.
They came in for a snack and to do our annual Camp McNeill t-shirts.
This year I bought some tie dye and squirty bottles. Showed them pictures of already done shirts and let them decide their design. They all chose something different.
Logan had to help Rylee a little because she either got Way too much or way too little.
Then it was back outside while we waited for them to dry. And of course, back again at baseball!
They took turns batting, fielding, and videoing.
Rylee and I played catch and cars...and did some selfies.
The kids made up a game on the trampoline called "PIG." It's like the basketball game PIG, but with tricks on the trampoline. A little crazy, but they seemed to enjoy it.
It got a little too rough for Rylee so she came and played in the dirt.
Which got Russell's interest. He made a bunch of sandcastles and was starting to build a tent...
but then an evil giant came and destroyed the city. :-) Tank just didn't understand why they were building things so she could dig them open to see if anything was in there.
So Cody then came to help protect it. Then it turned into a city with roads.
Stayed outside until dark and then came in for dinner and clean up. I wish I would have taken a picture of the bathtubs after baths, because they were NASTY! Those kids sure know how to have fun and get dirty!
Woke up early Thursday morning to take Logan to Summer Pride, it was storming like crazy so we just stayed in the car while he worked out. The kids picked out movies and brought the iPads and they did great! So proud of them.
Came home and finished up the shirts, they were very happy with how they turned out. Now Rylee was not very happy about having to stand in front, she wanted in the back...can you tell?
I made a stencil and we sprayed "Camp McNeill" on the back.
I love that they are all the same colors, but totally different, just like these kids!
It will surprise you, but...we went back outside and spent the day there again.
Jumping,
4 wheeling, and of course, baseball.
Later in the afternoon Pappy came! He joined in on the game and helped catch.
Then decided to get in on the action. After he would hit you could hear the outfield, "woah!" He hit them far!
He and Logan loaded up and headed to the lake because they were going golfing on Friday. It was weird to see Logan load up and leave. Getting so big!
Reminded me of this picture. Pappy and Logan loading up to go to Home Depot. Where has the time gone?
The kids were BUMMED that Logan was leaving, wanted to go inside and watch TV and sulk, but I wouldn't let them. We played some Simon Says on the trampoline instead.
Then did some dancing? :-)
And wrestling signature moves, sorry Amy, but Russell now knows all the wrestlers and their moves. Blame it on Cody.
It got dark so we came in and got cleaned up. I made dinner and next thing I know this comes towards me...
They were running around the house playing Cops and Robbers, not sure which one was the good guy and which was the bad guy.
And then...this came in my room. She said she was in charge of the cops. I don't doubt it Rylee, I don't doubt you!
They played around all evening until I told them to settle down. I took a shower and got out and couldn't find anybody! YIKES! Finally I heard some giggling and found them all with their pillows and blankets in the living room game closet. They were all playing minecraft and reading books. Good times.
I told them they could stay up late again since it was our last official night of Camp McNeill, they were excited and picked out all the shows they wanted to watch and got out all the food they wanted to eat. Not one of them made it through even the first show. Those were tired kiddos!
