The Invasion

We recently had an invasion from the east in My Corner of the Ozarks.

These are the invaders:  five grandchildren.  They came from Eastern and Midwestern cities to spend a week with grandparents in the Ozarks.  We called it Camp David.  Their ages range from 1 to 11.

We had lots of fun.  Camp David lasted a whole week.

Camp David included archery at Great Grandpa's house.

The weather was great.  Not too hot, but warm enough for swimming.

Great Grandpa got in on the fun.

Mimi prepared many meals.

We can have a fun time almost anywhere.

Uncle Brad left his high-rise in New York to be a camp counselor.  He was wonderful (essential?) help for the week.

One-year old Cami provided entertainment for all.

They seemed to adapt well to the Ozark culture.
