We have a crazy big family. It's not Duggar big but it's big. My Grandmom on my Dad's side had 7 kids and they all had kids and they all had kids and so on and so on.
I've blogged about it.
Oh, wow. I really have blogged about it. I mean, I just checked that link and I opened up another blog the exact same way - same Duggar line and everything. Nice, Paula. Very nice.
Every summer we have a Cousin's Camp. It's entitled Camp Pigeon Roost because the property backs up to Pigeon Roost Creek. Side note: I've never seen a pigeon anywhere near the property. So...it's a bit of a mystery.
Camp is a ton of fun and a ton of hot and sweaty work. Emphasis on hot and sweaty. Because it is so big it also requires lots of planning.
Let's look at how we plan our Cousin's Camp:
Step One:
Recruit workers
Hyperventilate when you think about how much work is involved.
Step Two:
Split children into groups. We have twenty six campers this year.
Step Two B:
Thank your lucky stars you're not in charge of food
Step Three:
Plan the schedule
Here's a sample of last years schedule.
Step Three B:
Be happy you're not in charge of where people sleep.

For example, these are the mud puppies. Oh, don't let them fool you. They are fierce.

Sleep is important.
Cousin's Camp. It's not for the feint of heart.
