We had lots of fun doing arts and crafts throughout our time at Vogel! Grandmama brought lots of coloring books and markers and the kids colored a lot while we were there. Abby mostly just liked to carry around the markers, then she would take the lid off and get mad when she couldn't get it back on.
Grandmama had the idea to have the kids make these shirts with each others' hand prints on each shirt. The shirts turned out SO cute and the kids definitely loved making them! They each had their own color paint and then we just passed the shirts around so that they could put their hand print on each shirt.
Hannah did a hand print for Millie since she wasn't there and their hand was about the same size (Billie didn't want to do it). :)
After all the big kids were finished we brought Abby in to squeeze her hand print on each shirt. She especially liked putting her hand in the paint.
One evening while some of the adults were getting dinner ready Grandmama had a sewing lesson with all the grandkids. It was too cute!! They were all so quiet and still while she was explaining things. She taught them how to thread a needle. Sewing is not one of my skills so I would love it if she passed on to one or all of my girls her love of sewing! It's a great skill to have!
On Wednesday afternoon, as we were getting ready to head back to Greenville, Grandmama took the big kids out on the porch to paint rocks while the adults were packing and cooking lunch. They had fun and swapped rocks with each other before our crew left that afternoon. They were wanting to paint them so that they could leave them somewhere for someone else to find. They did a great job painting them and had fun doing it!
Our craft-loving girls loved all the fun crafts that Grandmama had planned for our trip! I know it took some planning and organization....Thanks Grandmama!
