Each summer my parents put on "Cousin Camp" for the grandkids.
For the past 8 years, they invite all the grandkids age 5+ to spend 4 days on the farm, away from parents, with their cousins.
My mom goes all out making it feel like a genuine summer camp:
-bedrooms turned into cabins
-pledge of allegiance
-arts & crafts
-kitchen duty
-talent show
-music time
-swimming
-campfires
-field trips
-sports
...and the list goes on.
Even the oldest 3 cousins who are 'too cool' to be campers are involved - they're "Junior Counselors"
It culminates with a "program" on Sunday afternoon when parents get to see all the things they did.
Our girls talk about it, and look forward to it, all year long.
And the parents enjoy the weekend respite as well...
Just very thankful for them willing to put in the effort so the cousins can create these memories.

Odd Future continues to be THEE leading most diverse rap group collective without any realization. One day y’all will notice what this group has done to our culture. It’s amazing to see.
Black children should absolutely chase their dreams, whatever that may be. Not JUST pursue tech, engineering and science degrees. We need everybody everywhere. From historians to lawyers to authors to archivists to philosophers and everything in between.
