We had G&D Camp this week!

Rebecca wanted Derek & I to come spend the week in Idaho.  Since Robert works different shifts, and Bob is in Portland... I am the Ranch Hand!  So, we (Derek and I) decided to have the boys to ourselves here.  (G:Grandma D:Derek)

We met Rebecca and the FABULOUS park in Burns, Oregon.  That is about the only good thing happening in Burns (Sorry if you LOVE Burns).  After meeting and playing, we said our goodbyes!
Rebecca kept saying she felt guilty for having me with her boys all week.  (Carol Virgin did it for years with her granddaughters.. it's my turn)
The boys love coming to Bend.  We couldn't get here any faster! (Let me just add that little boys have little bladders!)
Tuesday we went to Lava Lanes to bowl.  Tian loved the shoes and wanted to take them home.  Trey tried very hard to beat Derek!  Oh, and Tian bounced the bowling ball over into the other lane FIVE times.  We got to be friends with the Bowling Alley worker!

After Bowling we headed to the Heinrich's pond.  We were having a good time, but when Robert and his girlfriend Heather arrived, the fun started!!! Thanks guys for coming and goofing off with the boys!

We rushed home to do the irrigation and then went to Derek's last Zumba class (Until September).  Trey was nervous at first, but joined in the class (He has his own moves... he moves like Jagger ... if you know that song).  Tian was exhausted!

We had dinner very late, and then a slumber party in Grandma's bed... (Thank you Derek for wanting to sleep in your own bed)

Wednesday we went to the Movie Theater for the dollar show.  We saw the Smurfs.  I LOVED it.  I told my "Smurfette" (That would be Rebecca) that I think I needed to buy it.  She bought it for me.  So if you want to borrow it.. I've got it!
We raced home after the movie and got ready for Derek's Tae Kwon Do class. 

Trey takes Karate with his dad, so he brought his uniform and felt proud to be dressed like the other boys.

Master K is so nice to include the little guys!  Hopefully I'll be able to include a couple of videos of them in action.  We had to stop at the famous Sister's Bakery.  Weekly Bob would stop and get a treat for him to eat there and one for Derek & I to share, but now since he drives through Sisters "after hours" we haven't been having our fill.  We made sure we took him home a few!

The boys LOVE helping me with the water.  I love their excitement and their attire!  Tian was so proud to finally get how to lock the gate!

The boys had been talking about sleeping out on the trampoline.  We should have done it earlier in the week... (Not the night before the drive back to Idaho), but we had fun and actually slept quite well.  I had to sneak off early to get the irrigation done, and to sneak a picture of the mass of sleeping bags.. the boys are still in them.. can you find them?

Thursday we got up early, packed and headed back to Idaho.  Like I said, the boys have small bladders.  Trey CRACKED me up at one of the "stops".  I felt like he was taking a long time... I finally looked in on him and he had the bathroom sink filled to the top with sudsy water, and he was carefully washing his hands, arms, all the way to his arm pits!

We got to Idaho just in time to put on our swim suits and head to Roaring Springs Water Park.  Sad that Trey had to talk me into going down one of the rides!  Glad he did, it was so much fun!  (Yes Mark, I did scream)  We stayed until they closed the gates!!!  Still at 8:15 it was 91 degrees!

Today (Friday) the plan was for me to watch the boys while Rebecca worked... Her boss called and said there were hardly any patients on the schedule and she could take the day off.  Hip HIP HOORAY.. We did a little shopping and then packed up ready to head back to Bend.  Derek and I stopped just one time in Burns, and then home! 

I'm going to do it again next year, so Rebecca, pick the week!!!
My home is so quiet... I think I just may leave the toys out just to remind me of the boys!
