Camp Nana and Papa The Pilot

I know that this post is out of order somewhat but I wanted it to have it's own entry so I thought that this would be a good place for it. This year, "Bob" and I started the Camp Nana and Papa tradition off with a bang. It was a fun filled weekend and they have set the standard really high for future years!
The weekend started for me with Nana, Papa and "Bob" picking me up from school. I was so surprised and excited to see everyone! Our first stop was Tannehill. We had so much fun there!
It was a fun day spent outside and exploring! The weather was perfect and so was the company! I got to do several of my favorite things like eating, playing, being outside and following "Bob's" every move!
We had a picnic while we were there. Nana and Papa had packed us PB&Js, Cheese Curls and I got M&Ms and Rob got skittles. On top of all of that we also had Capri Suns!
To finish off lunch, we both got a tootsie pop for dessert. It was fun to have special treats while at CN&P (Camp Nana and Papa.)
We walked across the bridge and looked at the water flowing by below. We were very careful not to get near the edge though. If you can't tell, they did a good job of sharing the camera time with us. People there kept asking if we were twins! Nana and Papa loved showing us off because we are so cute. Because we look so much like our parents, they felt as though they had a little Kathryn and Robert running around!
As you can tell, I love to follow Rob's lead. Where ever he goes, I am not far behind. We had fun running on the trail burning off all of the sugar that we had consumed.
Before they could blink, we had run straight past Nana and Papa. We are swift like the wind!
The next stop of fun during the weekend was the Verner School Field of Dreams. I think that Rob and I went up these stairs close to 50 times. It was the way up to the slide. It is a tunnel slide and they were shocked that I went down it but since Rob was doing it, so was I! I do not think that I walked the entire weekend. I would run, run, run! Needless to say, I did not have any trouble falling asleep each night.
Then it was time for a relaxing swing time. I wanted to be on the big girl swing and am starting to get the hang of it. I do not know how to pump yet but we are going to work on that.
The next day, we went to The University to visit. We started off at Bryant Denny Stadium and looked at the statue of Bear Bryant. I was glad to be there. When I was a baby, I would stare at his picture on the wall. Mama and Daddy joked and said that I recognized him from when I was in Heaven before I came to my parents.
We had fun running around. We looked so little next to that big ole stadium. I can't wait to go there one day and make my family proud!
Rob took a trip to see where Daddy started...the Phi Gam House. There were lots of fun times at that place. Mama had fun at their parties too! Who knows, he may follow in Uncle Robert's footsteps and come to Alabama and be a Phi Gam!
Then it was my turn to see where Mama started...the Tri Delt House. She has so many great memories from there. When I grow up, I want to be a Delta Delta Delta!
Next, we went to Memorial Park. Papa has a plaque out there honoring him. I was very proud to have such a special Papa that helped our country! He is a Bird Colonel in the Army.
Then we looked at the helicopter. Papa used to fly those and that is why he has hearing aids now. They made him deaf! :-)
Then Nana showed us the tank. We were both in complete amazement. It was such a neat place and it was fun for us to run around.
Then we looked at the airplane. I am obsessed with airplanes in the sky. When I see them, I say Air-plane, air-plane and sound like the guy from fantasy island. It is really funny! The entire weekend was a blast and I was exhausted when I came home but enjoyed ever minute of it. I can't wait for next year! George and Matthew are going to be old enough to come and it will be double to trouble for CN&P!! Thank you Nana and Papa!
