Summer Fun with the Cousins

Whenever we make the trip to Ohio, the girls are always so excited to see all their cousins.  They all can't get enough of each other, which leads to lots of sleepovers and fun.  We had multiple days of kiddie pool fun.

Just the girls...

and now just the boys - poor Lloyd.

 

Such a good sport letting Kyrie pick on him.



Buckets of water on everyone's head.

So much water!  They had a blast!

One day we went over to Papa's house to hang out.  The field behind his house was the site of hours and hours of fun when my sisters and I were growing up, so we took the kids back there to run around.

Eliza was like a kid in a candy store, picking as many dandelions as she could hold.

Then Nana brought out the squirt guns!

The kids had so much fun running around, squirting each other, and playing games.

Papa was like a big kid too!  He enjoyed it as much as the kids.

Eliza and Sage - ready for a duel.

So happy!

On our last day, Nana put together a cute little tea party and some crafts.

Happy Audrey.

All the kids made "cookies" with a round piece of wood and lots of different kinds of yarn.
During our visit, they also made Duct Tape purses (a wallet for Lloyd) and some really cool ink pictures with stamps.  Eliza can't get enough crafts, so Nana really came through on those!
