Grammy Camp

This morning I drove from VA to MD to pick up Elliot. He spent the last four days alone at my parents' house, enjoying what I call "Grammy Camp." Jack was the first grandchild to be invited to Grammy Camp. He spent 4 days with them last summer. This year, he was invited for a whole week. Elliot wasn't quite ready to go last summer, but this summer he couldn't wait! Ted called me in the car on my way back from today's pick-up. He was anxious to hear how it went. Not surprisingly, Elliot had a fantastic time, and didn't want to leave. This is a sample of one of his four days: wake up 6:40 am, eat favorite breakfast foods, including lots of sugary cereal, get dressed, watch video while Grammy gets dressed, head to arboreteum to play in tree houses, enjoy picnic lunch there, swim at Grammy's pool, stop at Rita's Water Ice for "treat", play baseball outside with Pop Pop, eat favorite vegetable-free dinner, watch new video Grammy bought him with popcorn, play 6 rounds of favorite game, take jacuzzi, read stories with Pop Pop, go to sleep at 9pm. With days like that, who could blame him...
