My kids love Grandkid Camp. It's definitely a high-light of their whole year. Justin and I are so grateful to my parents (especially my mom) who go to so much work to plan and execute this tradition. We love the happy memories that our kids are making with their cousins.
The theme this year was "Cousin Carnival." They play most of their themed games on Friday morning. Justin, Ivy, and I got up to the cabin Friday afternoon when they were done with their games and were just playing outside. We were so happy to finally have warm weather for Grandkid Camp, since the last few years have been windy and rainy!

And night games on the golf course. My parent's cabin is in an ideal location if you ask me. Once the golfers are finished up for the night the kids have the whole second hole of the golf course to run around and play on. Not to mention that it's completely gorgeous and peaceful.
Saturday was our beach day. Talk about a perfect day! In all our years at Bear Lake, this was probably one of the best beach days...warm, not windy, beautiful blue skies. Ivy picked a good first year to experience the lake!
We spent the majority of the day at the beach. It included boating, tubing, jet-skiing, kayaking, playing in the water, digging in the sand, and, for some of the littles, napping.

Such a wonderful day! One of the best!
We had lots more fun back at the cabin that night. Ivy warmed up to Grandpa after they had that nap together.
My dad's new purchase for this trip was a kid-sized 4-wheeler. Molly was nervous to go on her own at first so she had my dad ride with her. After a couple of times around the loop with him, she was comfortable enough to go on her own.
Rhino rides are also fun and a must-do activity at the cabin.

The last activity (at least that I took pictures of) was a pinata.
And that's a wrap! Cousin Carnival 2015 was a huge success!
**Ivy update 8/21:
I just did an Ivy update, but her newest trick is worth mentioning. She is able to get her knees under her long enough to scoot forward. Just once. But that, combined with all her rolling, allows her to get all over the place. She is a determined little girl...when she sees something she wants, she eventually gets there.
