Camp Creel



Jeff, I also think Alexandra is just beautiful. Who would have ever thought being grandparents could be so wonderful!


For three years now, Jack and I have been having "Camp Creel" where all the grandkids, except Tate, the 15 year old, comes and spends a week with us during the summer. We have Remi who is 11, CC and Caroline who are 9, Avery who is 7 and Jax who is 6! Boy do we have fun! Each year we capture a picture that is very special and turn it into a 11 x 20 picture! Jack had been to this Chinese restaurant before and insisted taking the children there. We ended up buying these cute pajamas and they love them.
The picture of Tate was taken at our annual family trip to New Braunfels, Tx. The guys play golf and the ladies/younger children float the river and go to the Schitterbahn.

Marg---This sounds and looks like so much fun...Also, the pictures were beautiful. You are really a GREAT grandmother. I don't think that I could do a week. Of course, I rationalize, by saying that this is what I do for a living. It seems that I am never away from children. Which in turn, makes it seem that I have nothing much left for children after school. I don't mean for that to sound as terrible as it does. I really love my grandchildren but...Some weeks I am just "childrened" out. Anywho---The pics were great and I marvel at your patience. m LOL B.

Thanks, Bonnie. We do it basically because our grandchildren live 3 hours away and we don't see them very often. Charl says her "Camp Mo Mo" is everyday since all of her kiddo live in Alexandria. I'm glad you enjoyed my album. How many grandchildren to you have?

I have 6 grandchildren. Brennan has three---Kayla 18, Brennan 12, and Keegan 2. How about that spread!!They ALL really wanted that baby. Chris has three---Zoe 8, Michael 6, and James 4. Tracie, Chris's wife has some sort of tumor on her pituitary (sp) and was always told that she would never be able to have children. They accepted it and were coontent. They are both RNs. When she got pregnant with Zoe ---they called her their "miracle child" Then came Michael two years later and then James two years later and then Chris had a vasectomy. Tracie said she was OK with no children and now they look like the Beverly Hillbillies. There was a time when you opened their SUV and it was just wall to wall baby seats. I guess that shows you that there is someone higher in control. HUH?

Margaret,
Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. They were great. And what
a fun Mimi you are. Enjoy them all you can because they grow up quickly. when our grandson was young we did all kinds of things with him (camping in a tent was not my favorite, but at 22 he still talks about it)
Also I would like to get Jeff'e-mail address, I want to send him some pics of cars Kenny has restored. Have a great day.
