Splish! Splash!

The kids and I headed down to my sister's town on Tuesday to hang out with her and her kids. She took us to the Splash Pad in their area and boy did the kids have a blast! I don't have a bathing suit right now that fits, so I was the photographer, watcher-of-Ben and our things, but if we should go back again this summer I'll definitely want to get wet! It was an overcast day but HOT as blazes!!!! I was dying to get wet but didn't have a change of clothes. Oh well! Next time! Anyway, the kids ran around, got wet and had a wonderful time! As I watched Cora have so much fun I was reminded of this fun time last summer!

Cousins!!

Now there are FIVE little ones for us to chase around! My sister has 3 kids (Sophia, 6; Riley, 3 in August; Hadassah, 1) and we now have 2 (Cora, 2; Ben 2 wks). There's always fun to be had when the cousins all get together. Lots of running around, screeching, merry-making and running the parents ragged! But, I love that we live close enough to my sister that our kids can see each other on a regular basis. Growing up in the wilds of Africa my sister and I were not able to do that with our cousins. We love that our kids can grow up together and not only be cousins but be friends! Anyway...Sunday my sister, BIL and their 3 kids came up to spend the afternoon with us. My BIL and the kids hadn't yet met Ben so there was extra excitement! My sister's MIL made all the kids matching t-shirts to celebrate the birth of Ben so we had them all decked out and took some photos. Here are some photos of the fun they all had on Sunday!
