When JMP was just a tiny thing, we talked about the time when he’d be old enough to spend a few days, or a week, or a month (!) with me and ThatGrandma for Grandma Camp while his mommy (and his Aunt Steph or his daddy) went off for some “craft time” of their own. (In mommy and Aunt Steph language, that means drinking without children time.)
Just when Pippin reached the age where he was old enough (and his mommy was at the point where she might consider letting him go for a bit) along came The Squish. So no Grandma Camp plans were made, instead we spent a lot of time getting to know The Squish and doing things as a big happy family. That was awesome, but we still dreamed of Grandma Camp.
And here we are! We’re planning our first Grandma Camp for Pippin and The Squish while mommy & daddy do a little house hunting. And since they are hunting for a house that’s pretty close to where The Grandmas live and another baby is on the way, odds are high that we’re going to have the opportunity to do a whole lot of Grandma Camping in the future.
EPIC! It’s going to be EPIC! Or SICK! Or PRETTY COOL (as Pippin would say.)
