Groompa Day Camp!

Monday was Boompa's birthday (even though we'd celebrated the previous day) and it was also Groompa Day Camp for Braden Addie, and Corinne.

Cole and Emily were heading home after lunch, so Ian and Julie got some final play time together on the play mat while their cousin, JC, watched.

 I love that JC is playing with Julie's piggies!

The adults (sans Craig and me) went to Route 66 for lunch and we had Groompa Day Camp at home!

 First up? A craft. 

Corinne and I partnered to make a cowboy lantern. (I am not sure why she looks so put out!)

 Braden and JC were partners, making a fish lantern.

 And Trinity and Addie worked together on a macaw lantern.

 Corinne was happy with her cowboy!

 The finished fish lantern, ready to hang.

 And the macaw, ready to go!

 We hung them in the dining room from the chandelier.

When the others got back from lunch, we trooped out to the barn to visit Abby. Trinity worked as the carrot/sugar/candy cane handler while I stood at Abby's and Diablo's shoulders.

 Abby reaches for the treats Braden offers.

 Addie's turn with help from Dad and Trinity.

Abby hopes Trin has something for her, too!

After dinner, we had "pie-palooza"  (two lemon meringue pies and a cherry pie to celebrate Boompa's birthday) and watched The Lego Movie. 

 I LOVE the expressions on Braden's and Kyle's faces. They loved the film!
