Nana's Summer Camp

All summer Nana has had the girls at least two days a week. The first week of summer she had them the entire week. On several occasions she also had them spend the night - having their own sleep over party. Nana worked hard to make sure the girls time with her was quality time not just “child care.” She always makes sure the girls are having fun and learning something but this summer she out did herself. Here is just a partial list of what the girls did with Nana:

- Learned to cook egg salad, strawberry pie (including the crust) and mashed potatoes

- Learned to iron and sew on a button

- Each girl shopped for the fabric and then made their own apron

- Feed ducks

- Learned how to shuck corn

- Made ice cream

- Visited downtown public library

- Visited the local farmer’s market

- Played miniature golf

- Painted with water colors

- Went to the Explorium (Lexington’s Children’s Museum)

- Shopping at a great locally owned toy store

- Went out to lunch with Papa

- Took lunch to Papa at his office

(Rachael sayin, "I'm Papa" while sitting at his desk at work.)

- Memorized Bible versus – one for each letter of the alphabet

- Memorized the names of the books on the Bible in the New Testament – in order

- Horseback Riding Lessons (Grace)

- Played at the park

One of the great activities that Nana planed was the “Lexington Park Marathon.” In one day the girls visited 10 of the biggest parks in Lexington and rated each to determine the best park in Lexington. The girls loved this idea and had a great time that day. They also slept well that night!! We can't thank Janice enough for all she does.
