Camp Papa

I'm not sure when it started but a few years back my dad (Papa to the grandkids) starting having campfires, S'mores, tenting out, etc. with my niece and nephew who are now 10 and 8.  Eventually Camp Papa got bigger and Papa would take the kids to the cabin and explore in the woods, ride 4-wheelers, build fires and pee outside!  Well this year Papa and Mimi invited ALL 6 grandkids (ages 10, 8, 5, 2 and two babies), myself and my sis-in-law to Camp Papa at the cabin.
 
Camp Papa was held on a Monday - Wednesday and included 4-wheelers, canoeing and fishing for the older ones, cooking hotdogs over the campfire, sleeping on air mattresses in the "Clubhouse", a trip for ice cream, 4-wheelers, shooting guns and more 4-wheelers!  The 4-wheelers are by far the highlight for the kids and Simon LOVED to ride with Papa and just to sit on the 4-wheelers! 
 
We were all a bit sleep deprived coming away from the trip but as Papa says, "We're making memories!" 
 
Can you see the pure joy on this kid's face?!

These two are great buddies (most of the time)!

Anya, Micah and Papa - Micah caught a fish!
