Grandma Day Camp on the Road 2017

We took GDC on the road to Richmond VA when we went to visit Mikey’s Family. We started the day with the flag ceremony, and then the ever popular songs. 

                                                   Alice the Camel and Baby Shark.

Then we sewed pillowcases.  Preston did the ever popular stomp on the pedal and let me sew!  The other kids sewed … I have backed off and made them actually sew by themselves. They feel so proud when they complete the pillowcases. 

We made paracord bracelets. Patrick actually got it! And can make them by himself. 

We recycled magazine art from a year ago. These kids didn't get to do it that year.
