Camp Granna Day 5 - Blast Off 4th of July

Final day of camp and it was a buzz of activity.  After breakfast, the kids drug their cardboard boxes out in the yard and got the dad's to working on the drive-in movie cars. 

 

 

After cutting and shaping the cars, they took a break for some patriotic snacks.  We had red, white and blue parfaits of blueberries, Whip  Cream and strawberries and Sprite poured over red and blue star shaped ice cubes. 

 

 

Just a little on Kinsler's eyelashes!!!

 

Then back to work painting the cars.

 

 

I think they turned out pretty cute!!

 

We had lunch and then nap time.  Britni made our snack for after nap time - yummy and pretty patriotic strawberries.

 

 

The kids swam in the afternoon and then we started getting things set up for the drive in movie. 

 

 

We grilled hamburgers for dinner and Steven grilled some pineapple.  So good!!!  After dinner we blasted off some water bottle rockets. 

 

 

One landed in the top of a huge tree!! 

 

Then we had a little fireworks show before the drive-in. 

 

 

Olsen went nuts barking and biting at each one they set off.  At one point he grabbed one and took off running with it.  Crazy!!

 

The customers then got their popcorn and chose some movie candy and drinks and headed to the back yard for the movie. 

 

 

 

 

The drive-in movie feature for the evening was The Legend of Sarila.  It was a really good movie about three young Inuits who set off in search of a promised land to save their clan from starvation after all the animals in the area suddenly disappear, leaving the hunters empty-handed and the community on the brink of famine.  The brave Markussi realizes that drastic measures are required. He and a couple of friends defy the dishonest clan shaman Kiliq, and go out in search of the legendary land of Sarila, which is said to be rich in fish, game and fruit. They are pursued by the jealous shaman and confronted with numerous dangers.  The trio must restore the natural balance of the environment in order to save their people.  It was a very good little movie and it brought Camp Granna full circle with a tale about Inuit Indians. 

 

 

Another camp complete.  We had lots of fun and I sure hope my sweet grandbabies had a good time and will have lots of memories from their time a Camp Granna 2014.
