Reason #1 You never have to feel bad about letting your kids watch too much TV. In fact, if you take your granddaughters on a two day camping trip, feel free to bring your computer loaded up with cartoons and let them watch it in the tent. At 10pm.
Reason #2 You never have to worry about silly things like pajamas, modesty or privacy.
Reason #3 Also do not need to worry about bathing suits.
Reason #4 Powdered donuts for a midnight snack while watching a laser show with about 3000 drunk people is perfectly normal.
Reason #5 If you tire them out, there are no fights at bedtime.
Reason #6 Beautiful granddaughters.
(This was just the TINIEST recap of my parent’s 2 day “cousin camp” they put on each year for their TWO preschool granddaughters. This year was a camping trip complete with mountain climbing, train ride, crafts, swimming, ropes course and more!)
oh, and part 1. also, last year’s camp primo.
So cute! They look like they are having a blast.
Oh, so much fun! I miss Stone Mtn! What a wonderful place for grandparents to take 2 preschoolers!
What totally fun grandparents those girls have!
That’s too cute! I must say that I would rather be a grandparent than a parent. If there was a way that I could just skip the parent part… I might do it.
Yes, that’s definitely what grandparents are there for. To let our kids do all the things we won’t. hee hee
I am just now catching up on your blog after a week and a half of not reading.
Two things… 1. I love your craft blog and your ABC Bible verse work for Lydia. That’s great! 
and 2. Your parents totally rock! Grandparents are awesome! huh? Mine parents are coming in town this week to take care of Caroline while Andrew and I celebrate our 2 year anniversary with a romantic getaway. 
So is it true what happens at Grandma’s stays at Grandma’s?!
Cute!
#1 – love it! And reason #4 doesn’t apply to just Grandparents – that’s my ideal way to spend a Saturday night. Maybe with less drunk people tho.
That is amazing!!! I think Lydia must have the best grandparents in the world : ) Do you think they would mind two more next year, lol? I wish our parents would do that kind of thing with our girls.
There’s just something special about peeing in the woods…
My little girl often talks about when she grows up to by a mommy. I never let those comments go by without a pitch. “You’ll let your kids come sleep over at my house, right?” She’s finally consented to short visits.
I really enjoyed that post. It looks like they had an amazing time on the camping trip. I’m sure they’ll want to do that every year.
