COUSIN CAMP 2008 !




SATURDAY, JULY 12, 2008

Katie brought her nephew Hayden to Tyler for the week. He is going to go to Pine Cove Day Camp all week. We've always planned to have a "Cousin Camp" one day so this looked like the perfect year to start! The day began with blueberry pancakes ( a first for Will) and butter poured from my grandmother's hen pitcher. YUM !!!



Our first day of camp was called "Exploring Nature" So first we headed to the Famer's Market to see what nature provides Tyler. Hayden learned about shelling black eyed peas and loved learning how to pick out a watermelon.







Then we went to find some wild nature at the zoo! Hayden promptly told us at the first exhibit that he did not like "Longhorn cattle" - I thought it was because they are big and scary looking but Tom reminded me that Hayden is a tried and true "Aggie" descendent. Both of the cousins seemed to really enjoy the bird aviary. It was a hot but happy day which we ended by making cookies of course with Cookie - which will always be an annual cousin camp tradition!
