Last Day of Cousin Camp 2010

I'm sure ya'll are tired of hearing about this, seeing how it's taken me forever to get through plus I still have another fun trip we went on to blog about.

We saved our trip to Union Station for Saturday because I thought our dad would enjoy going there with everyone. My dad served his mission in Kansas City many many years ago and he arrived there at Union Station. It is quite the trip down memory lane for him.

Before we left for Union Station...

We made hats for the kids (Annie and Steph did an awesome, amazing job with theirs. My poor girls).

Grandpa and the kids enjoying a piece of cake together---mmmmmmm yummy!!

Grandpa taking them for a walk so us moms could get everything ready.

They have a new exhibit at Union Station with dinosaurs and of course the kids loved it.

This one roared at them while moving his head.

Grandpa (blue shirt) and Steph (pink shirt), I'm sure he was telling her about his arrival for his mission. That door at the end of the hall is the door he came through. Then met his Mission President just to the right from where I was standing taking the picture. He said it looked a little different back then but still has some of the original stuff.

We had a picnic.

We headed outside to see the big dinosaur.

And played around it.

The doors back and to the left of Ayva were the doors my dad came out of after meeting his Mission President.

This was so cute. Ayva took a real liking to Cardston.

One day we were getting into the cars and they were walking out together. Steph grabbed Cardston to put him in the car and I took Ayva to put her in another car. She then told me, "Why is she taking him away from me, he'll be all alone without me." After explaining that he needs to go into another car she said, "I think he should be my brother."

Oh really!!

There was a really cool train exhibit. So many model train tables to look at, I even thought they were cool!

The Crew

(minus Grandpa, he was at a church meeting and Aunt Brittany who was taking the picture)

THANKS EVERYONE FOR MAKING THE WEEK SO MUCH FUN!!!

Day 4

We took it pretty easy on day 4 because, well let's just face it...we're getting old and we were worn out! Not Annie though, she was going strong. MAYBE IT WAS JUST ME!

We did some crafts in the morning. The girls made these flower foam necklaces and the boys made foam airplanes.

She just wouldn't keep that shirt on.

Brampton

Cardston (and he had a rough day...keep reading and you'll find out what happened, poor thing!)

The boys were flying the planes down the stairs, it was so cute!!

Grandma doing my job while I was taking pictures.

Addison and Aden with their crafts.

Ayva and Cheyenne and their necklaces (well actually mine and grandma's necklaces, hahaha)

Cardston, Brampton, Aden, Addison, Ayva and Cheyenne

I tried to get as many group shots as I could.

Ayva's new horse shirt (she loves horses).

After crafts we played outside while getting ready to ride on the carousel at Oak Park Mall.

Playing "Ring Around the Bushes"

Carousel Ride, we were on the top level and boy did that make me sick. I get motion sickness real easy.

Play area by the carousel.

Seriously, where did she learn that?

Addison, silly girl, hanging from the castle.

Poor Cardston was playing on the castle just like everyone else and took a tumble. He is such a strong little thing, he kept playing but being very careful with his right wrist. After a little bit Steph decided to get him checked out so we took a trip to the Urgent Care at Children's Mercy Hospital.

While Cardston and Steph were in with the doctor the kids were rolling down the grassy hill having a blast. Poor little Cardston!

Later that night my girls were complaining about their arms and legs hurting. Either they're allergic to grass or they had some serious grass at the hospital.

Here's Cardston after his trip to the hospital. He fractured his wrist! That cast was enormous on that tiny little thing.

To top off the day, we had a little treasure hunt. We had planned for this activity at a park but this day our plans kept changing---lunch with grandpa...nope, treasure hunt at the park...nope, Deanna Rose Petting Zoo...nope. A couple of the days were like that. I think because of weather, if I'm remembering right.

NOTE TO SELF FOR NEXT TIME: Plan out everything in detail and keep to the plan.

I ran out of room on my SD card (I know, shocker right?!!!) at the end of the treasure hunt. Stephanie had made up these bags full of little treasures.

Steph had taken this picture days before cousin camp.

Please excuse the duplicate of this picture below, for some reason it won't let me delete it.
