My kids are over the moon--in the last month, seven of their cousins from three different families have been out here to visit! My sister Sandra drove out here from Colorado for a couple weeks. We tried out indoor rock climbing, and the kids were champs:
Even three-year-old Adam climbed about 12 feet up each time and kept at it for a couple hours!
We also kept busy boating, playing at parks,
exploring pioneer life at the children's museum,
and even spending the night at the library! What an event--there were scavenger hunts, games, treats, and of course, the healthiest selection of bedtime stories ever!
Sandra and I also took the kids camping, which was perfect
excepting the tree-bending storm that barreled through right as we were waking up! Here we are drenched after packing up a campsite for nine in the downpour!
Sandra stayed through Eric's (amazing!) graduation night:
This weekend we continued the cousin fun by having our adorable Alldredge and Jason Brinton cousins over. What more could a kid want than a boy-built slip 'n' slide,
popsicles every night,
tubing on the lake,
a driveway "ice cream shop,"
kids your size to talk to (these two were born only two hours apart!),
sparklers,
and a day at the beach?
Here are the most recent visitors in their Sunday best. It doesn't get any cuter than that.
Cousins, we love you! Come back anytime.
