We recently had my sister & her kiddos visit for a few weeks. They are from Chicago. Well, technically, they are from a suburb of Chicago - yet I still call them the "City Cousins". That many people?! It's city to us!
The cousins always have a great time ~ here's some excerpts of their visit (I didn't get NEAR enough pictures though):
The cousins always have a great time ~ here's some excerpts of their visit (I didn't get NEAR enough pictures though):
 |
| Micah doesn't really *swim* in the pond yet ~ he more or less just plays in the mud at the side of the pond! |
 |
| They spent as much time as we would let 'em swimming in our pond! |
 |
| Isaac really enjoyed having an older boy around - Nathan & Isaac had a great time together! |
 |
| Elijah was learning from the older kids - like how to go underwater! WTG, Elijah~ |
 |
| If I could bottle up the energy they spent.....whoa! |
 |
| Tali thinks her cousin Katie hangs the moon! |
 |
| We also visited some friends of my parents ~ they have an amazing back yard! So warm & welcoming! |
 |
| The ladies were chatting on the back porch ~ well, my sis was looking at her Kindle. I'm *almost* jealous of that....yet I really do like to actually HOLD the book... |
 |
| These flowering vines smelled A-MA-ZING! I can't remember what it is. Beautiful! |
 |
| New versions of s'mores were tried & enjoyed... |
 |
| The back woods were explored... |
 |
| And the fire was thoroughly appreciated by all! |
We had a great time while they were here! This has been one of the best visits, regarding the kids anyway. They got along great, played well together....well, there WAS this incident with a fish hook, my niece's foot & a trip to the emergency room....
OUCH!
Yet all is well! They went back to the city...um, I mean suburbs.
We miss them already.
And we look forward to seeing them again. Soon.
*hint, hint*
Luv you guys!!

Looks like a fabulously good time! Kids are adorable! We have a lot of cousin play time around here. Though we don't have a swimming pond :-(
I love books, and holding books, but I gotta say, a Kindle is *so* convenient. Especially when you're going somewhere and want to bring several books. No worries about what space they'll take up!

Could you have found a less flattering picture of me?? No, really, we had a great time visiting. I do wish we were closer so that our visits could be more often. I really enjoyed our late nights hanging out together. I think you have passed on that very bad habit to me though. :(
