They were drawing on pieces of driftwood. Then Marcia told me they use a magnifying glass to burn in the drawing. I was totally amazed. Hot Stuff.
Another favorite thing they do is buy bandana scarves, grommets, and fabric paint from Jo'Ann's Material Store. Each child paints what they want on their flag and then fly's it when under way. Grandmother Marcia likes for the children to write in a journal every day and depending on their ages have chores to do. This year Emily had to make a meal,and pump up the inflatable kayaks. Emily showed me her journal which was filled with photos of the driftwood and the flags from when she was younger. Grandpa Jim was in charge of the boating and I watched them venture off in the dinghy and kayaks numerous times. It is wonderful that they are devoting so much time to mold their grandchildren and are giving them many varied adventures. They were returning this grand-daughter in another day and picking up 2 others for the next round. It was thrilling to see. They made quite an impression on me, so I'm hoping to meet them again.
