Grandma Camp: Start Thinking Now About It

Grandma Camp

Grandma Shelley made a comment on my post about making licorice with grandchildren.  She mentioned that she had been contacted by the LA Times to write about the grandma camps that she does for her grandchildren.  She has some great ideas that I think my readers ought to be aware of.  You can click here to read what she has to say.

Grandma Shelley has good advice about doing lots of pre-planning and preparation for her grandma camp.  So, if you have the mid-winter blahs like I do, now is the perfect time to start thinking and planning what you would like to do for your very own Grandma Camp. (Or, you can start planning and preparing for a trip to Fiji like I am!)

If I put the rule down that the grandchildren have to be potty trained before they can come to a grandma camp, it’s going to be a long time before I can do a camp!  Sheesh!  Since Simon is only 2 1/2 months old and Natalie is only six months old, they really can’t do much anyway . . . I tried to get Simon to play Twister with me when he came over two days ago.  He just looked up at me from my arms and grinned . . .

Isn’t Simon cute??

You might also want to read about the heart attack that Grandma Shelley gave her grandchildren.  I know that Valentine’s Day is over.  But — you can start collecting ideas and preparing for next year, huh? Great ideas, Grandma Shelley.

Do any of you have activities that you have done with your grandchildren?  Please feel free to post a comment and share them here.

Thanks a bunch!

    I’m going to do a one-day (actually one night and one day) Grandma Camp this Saturday. I’m getting some ideas from Grandma Shelley, and I’ll be letting everyone know how it went on my website. Wish me luck!
