Yesterday we went downtown to volunteer for the annual GIVE program. (Gannon's Invitation to Volunteer Everywhere) We usually clean up the Schuylkill River Park but due to rebuilding it was pretty clean so we painted the gate and fence at the entrance to their pool.
Trip Log
September 8, 2012
The floors have been ready to finish but it has been rainy and humid. Thursday it dried up enough so we spent the day puting four coats of poly on the game room and foyer and they look very nice. Have put the trim and heaters back on and we are good to go.
September 1, 2012
Wow, September already. Bailey and Bridget are back to school and Elyse and Annika start on Wednesday. We had Bailey and Bridget a few more days after the last post and they kept busy with projects, making whistles, go carts, ant farms, etc.
August 21, 2012
We haven't posted in a while but we have been busy. We moved all the furniture out of our game room and tore down the suspended ceiling. I took out all the panels from the hanging ceiing in the basement and replaced them with the panels from the game room.
August 10, 2012
It was a rainy morning and we headed to the Exton Diner (now Bistro 24) for breakfast and on the way in we (Bridget) found $65 in the parking lot. No one was around to claim it so we split it among the campers.
August 9, 2012
Another busy day at Camp NanaPapa. We made some root beer by using dry ice and conducted a few experiments beforehand since we had the dry ice.
August 8, 2012
Today was tubing day with a 2 hour float down the Brandywine. The kids really enjoyed themselves once they got past the fact they could do more in the creek than just float.
August 7, 2012
Started the day with some more tennis practice followed after lunch by a round of miniature golf. We then headed to Sheeder Mills Farm for the equestrian events, a half an hour in the training ring followed by a half hour trail ride.
August 6, 2012
Camp NanaPapa day 1. Since we have an olympic theme we all spent the night watching the Olympics while the kids settled in and set things up to their liking.
August 5, 2012
Tomorrow is the start of Camp NanaPapa, our annual week with all four grandkids. Bailey and Bridget came over at lunchtime and Elyse and Annika at dinner. I have been busy trying to repair the laptop.
