Cuzin's Kamp - You'll Shoot your Eye out!

Every year my parents host a "Cuzin's Kamp" for their grandchildren that are six years and older. The event is something that has been come a tradition for the Walker cousin's and one that they look forward to every year.

There are some of the cousin's missing from the pictures!!

This year we tried something different and involved the parents of the kids, because the event keeps getting bigger as the families continue to grow!

Its quite difficult to get everyone under the same roof at one time....but it did happen at various times of the day! Some still needed to come and go depending on other obligations. We fought through sickness, crying babies, a non-working video projector and Tanner's dirty feet.

Here is the view from the home were we stayed! It was only about 20 minutes from our home.....and up to 2 hours for others. The weather was absolutely perfect for the 4 day event.

This year's theme was "The Bull's Eye Kids!" Clover got to come up for one afternoon to spend with the family.

The theme centered around GUNS!! We learned about them, studied them, and even got to shoot many types of them. Matt taught a safety class to the "bull's eye" kids who would be shooting. He even had them take a test and sign a form! You can't be too careful about this subject! Grandpa Dave gave an inspirational "gun" thought each morning before the days activities. One afternoon we enjoyed riding motorcycles and giving rides on four-wheelers!

Yes that is me in the red jacket with that SHOTGUN!

We also had a good old fashion marshmellow WAR with pvc pipe! The boys figured out if they quickly put the mini-mallow in their mouths right before they shot -- the mallow went a lot further and could even give a little "sting" or a "stick", which made for many laughs and girly screams.

There is a nice little "mallow" surprise at the end of the video!

Nice - Helmet head Joshua!

Thanks Mom and Dad for keeping the TRADITION ALIVE!
