Camp Nanny & Poppy

The kids rode home from the beach with Nanny & Poppy, and made a few stops along the way at fruit stands and for homemade ice cream!!

Sunday

Nate went on a run with Poppy in the morning, and everyone went to see Incredibles 2 that afternoon. As usual, Abby hogged the popcorn! The kids FaceTimed me after the movie and said they loved it.

Monday

They took at trip to Raleigh to go to the Museum of History & Museum of Science! This was the first time for the kids and I think they really enjoyed it.

 Tuesday

The rain cancelled their pool plans, so they went to a new trampoline place called Surge! They loved all the trampolines plus the rock wall obstacles. AND they got to see a 2nd movie that afternoon - Hotel Transylvania 3! #spoiled

 Wednesday

The day they had been highly anticipating.....they picked up Anderson & Gibson in Charlotte and headed to the Great Wolf Lodge!! (It's an indoor water park & resort in Concord, NC.) I don't know if Nanny & Poppy were extremely brave or crazy to attempt this overnight adventure with 4 grandkids!!!

 As soon as they checked in, they headed to the water park - duh! Poppy said it was hard to get pictures and I totally understand. And from what I hear, these pictures don't do the place justice --- it was huge! The kids had the time of their lives.

 After an afternoon of water fun, they headed back to the room to change, settle in, explore, and play. The kids FaceTimed me to give me a tour of their room and the "kids cabin." They had bunk beds in their room and thought they were *very* cool!!

 Here is the kids cabin - Nate slept on the single bed, and Abby & Anderson got the bunk beds. (Gibson slept out in the "normal" part of the room with Nanny & Poppy, on a pull-out couch.)

 They ordered pizza in the room for dinner, and then headed down to the water park for some Dippin' Dots before bed! They also got to play in the arcade and apparently Abby - who is literally the world's luckiest human - won 2000+ tickets!!! She was over the moon and divyed up the tickets among her cousins so they could all spend them on junk prizes.

 Thursday

The kids woke up and wanted a few more hours of water park fun. I don't know how Nanny & Poppy had the energy for that, but they did! And here is the cutest pack of wolves, howling with fun before they checked out.....

And if they hadn't already had a ton of fun......all 4 kiddos got to go to the mall and do the Mall Jump!! (Nate & Abby have done this before and loved it. They jump up & down about 20 feet in the air while tied to ropes!

Steak & Shake.....dinner of Champions....

Friday

After a cousin sleepover Thursday night at Nanny & Poppy's, everyone headed back to Charlotte to drop off Gibson & Anderson. Then they continued on to Commerce, GA to meet up with us. We missed them soooo much! 

A big THANK YOU to Nanny & Poppy for spoiling taking such good care of our kiddos for a few days! The memories you guys made are priceless ! :)
