Grammy Gramps Camp makes Pickles!

The week after I was in Boston for the weekend my parents held their annual Grammy Gramps Camp. In the past, this week has been just for John and Nathaniel, my two oldest nephews. This year, Sebastian got to join the fun. My parents brought all the boys up for a fun evening in Princeton. The first thing we did was make pickles at my apartment. Sebastian declared from the beginning that he was not a pickle fan, so he chose to just watch, but John and Nathaniel were pretty excited to make their own.

Mom helped out so that we could each watch while one of the boys was using the knife to cut pickles. She even made a jar or two for herself! Here are John and Nathaniel with their packed pickle jars before the brine went in:

And here they are again. They were quite proud of their pickle-making prowess.

After making pickles, we went to have breakfast for dinner at a little diner on Nassau Street and all the boys ordered French toast! They were so excited when the hostess asked if they wanted powdered sugar. So after getting them all sugared up, we took a little walk around campus since it was a beautiful evening.

One stop was to see the Tigers outside of Nassau Hall. We got lots of fun photos with them:



Earlier in the week, they all had gone to the Constitution Center in Philly and Sebastian got an Abraham Lincoln hat while he was there. He really did wear it the entire time we were hanging out in Princeton.

Here you can see Mom and Dad in the middle and the boys still hanging out on the Tigers.


It was so fun to get to see them all while they were doing Grammy Gramps camp! I can't wait until next year!
