Fun with Cousins














We went to my sister-in-law's house this afternoon to let the boys swim (our round, hard plastic kiddie pool doesn't QUITE do the trick) and see their cousins, Sallie-Marie and Lance. They LOVE to go to Aunt Tammie's. When we pulled up they said, "We LOVE this place!" and "We wish we could live here!" John Henry, Sallie-Marie and Lance wasted no time getting in the water, but Josh, who is not fond of pool water, the ocean or any other cool water (we call it his kryptonite) chose to play in the sand box and wander in and out of the house getting Aunt Tammie to do all sorts of things for him (a DVD to watch, a game to play, a band-aid for a boo-boo, a snack -which turned into a full blown meal, and anything else he could think of). Sadly, we had to leave and come home to get ready for bed, but I took some cute shots of the kids - Enjoy!
