Big Pappy Boot Camp

Hope spent all of last week with Brandon's dad (and Terry and Ben and Bryce and Ethan) at Big Pappy's Boot Camp. She drove back to Albuquerque with them after their visit here. In only five days they visited the Natural History Museum, the book store, Ben and Jerry's, Hinkle Family Fun Center, and Tinkertown Museum, went hiking, went fishing, had a picnic, played putt-putt twice, went swimming twice, made cookies three times, planned a skit, and had lots of play time! Needless to say, Hope had a great time and came home EXHAUSTED! We drove down on Thursday to get her and we all stayed until Sunday. Big Pappy Boot Camp officially ended on Friday at bedtime, so we were there for the final day on Friday. Brandon got to go with all of the campers to Tinkertown Museum and on a hike and picnic. Since this is the only day of camp we were there, these are our only pictures:

A whole entire day at the spa - what a wonderful birthday gift!!! Thank you!

At the end of the week Big Pappy officially named this the 1st annual Big Pappy's Boot Camp, which means Hope will be able to enjoy it all again next year! I wonder if he'll accept 2 year-olds! :o)
