Cousin's camp

So the girls are pretty spoiled (and so are we) to have grandma's and grandpa's who live so close and who insist on having Cousin's Camp every summer!  They are a little crazy in my mind, but the girls absolutely love it and its so good for them to get to spend that time with their grandparents and cousins.  I'm a bit jealous that I never had Cousin's Camp growing up. ;) 
The Rollins Cousin's Camp was in July and I didn't get any pictures because I wasn't there, but the girls had a blast.  We actually did meet them for dinner at the Pizza Pie Café to help out a little bit with all those kids.  Our girls barely noticed us and had no problem when we left in a different car than them to go home.  That day they had gone to a splash pad, had lunch at McDonalds, played with cousins all day and gone out to eat.  After dinner they went back and broke a Minion piñata and watched Madagascar 3 outside.  Then they went inside and eventually went to sleep.  The next morning they got up and had breakfast and went swimming outside and played with their cousins some more.  Heaven for my girls.  We went to pick them up and had a hot dog lunch with them and then finally took them home. 
The Stevenson's cousin camp was August 30 so actually after school had started, but it was on a Friday and it turned out to be a good time for everyone.  I did remember to take a couple pictures this time.  They started off going to Skywalker Haven, a new trampoline park in Layton.  We dropped them off there, so we got to watch for a minute.  The girls were loving it.


 After that they went and ate at Ligori's Pizza and then went to Chik-Fil-A after that for ice cream.  I know, so spoiled.

 After that they went back to grandma's and watched the movie Epic and then went to sleep (eventually).  The next morning they got up and went on an adventure hike down at the bird refuge.  The theme was Camp Ee-da-bug, so they got lots of cute little bug snacks and toys and prizes.
Here they are on their hike.  So cute 
Then they went back and they did a craft (window light catcher things, I can't remember what they are called) and then went to the splash pad where we picked them up.  Seriously, the luckiest girls ever.
While the girls were at cousins camp, Rob and I didn't do much besides maybe rent a movie.  We still had Alivia and I remember trying to find a sitter for her and couldn't those nights, so we weren't completely childless.  But it was nice to have a little break, especially knowing the girls were having a blast without us.
