Fun with Cousins

During Matt, Rachael, and the kids visit in October, Jaxon and Jonas enjoyed lots of good times with their cousins. I think our neighbors did not appreciate all the fun and games as much as the kids. With five under the age of five, every minute is a party! We also had to get a little creative to figure out how to fit nine people into a small two bedroom apartment, but we had a blast. We found that the kitchen floor was the only open place in the apartment after all the kids were down, so each night we would sit on the floor, eat treats and drink herbal tea, and play cards until way past my bedtime. But of course, I was the only one who had to get up for work the next day.

Here are a few pictures from their visit:

Lifeguard duty

I guess we thought it was too cold for the kids to get in so we didn't bring swim suits. Underwear works just as well.

Crab hunting - not as easy as you would think

Halloween day - a little late for a trip to the beach, but this did not deter the boys.

As we hiked up the mountain back to the car, the boys were tough and even passed a group of adults...Here they are showing how strong they are. I was convinced.
