I decided to host Cousin Camp at my house this week. I don't know why. Call me crazy. At least I limited it to the kids that are close in age to my kids. The kids have 14 cousins on my side ranging in age from 22 to 4. I don't think I could wrangle and entertain such a diverse group!
Our craft to day was Cousin Camp pillow cases. They were a hit. I just used Office Depot iron ons to make the transfers, and had the kids color them before we ironed them in place. I have no idea how well they will hold up in the long run, but in the short run, they were thrilled.
"But Auntie Gina, I didn't bring a pillow. I brought a pillow PET."
"Well, let's stick your pillow pet in the pillow case."
"Oh. OK. Hey! He has a sleeping bag, too, now!"
The girls in the girl tent.
The Camp director's Cabin (AKA: The play house) I dragged a twin bed down there.
Running off our s'mores.
Sharks and Minnows
Red Light, Green Light.
Now, all the tents are blissfully quiet.

Finally getting back to reading blogs. What a FUN idea to run cousin camp! I wish I had read this before I had to throw 2 family reunions this summer. You had some great ideas.
