Good Times with Cousins


Conny, Jacob and Olivia arrived on Saturday and we have all had a great time together. On Saturday, we went to the Irish Festival because it was a mile away and something different to do. On Sunday, we drove to the top of Pikes Peak and everyone got to play in the snow. We had intended to also go to the zoo, but it was raining by the time we were off the mountain. Luke was devastated that we couldn't go (we had been talking about feeding the giraffes), so we promised we'd go back next weekend. Today, Conny and I took the kids to the Children's Museum. We spent almost 4 hours playing before we came home to a short nap and then ran through the sprinklers. Upcoming activities include a day at the lake, camping in the backyard, mini birthday party for the boys, and a visit from Uncle Kent, Aunt Tara and Baby Fyo.

After an afternoon of fun at the Irish Festival - we were too tired to walk back to our car so we rode the bus.

Olivia brought a camera for herself and Luke was very interested in it, so Greg got each of the boys a camera of their own. They've had a good time taking pictures of random things, it'll be interesting to see what comes out when they're developed.

Playing in the construction room at the Children's Museum, I think Ryan could have stayed there for hours.

A sample of the noise volume in our house. It is like this most of the time, but they are having a blast.

Lastly, two pictures of the kids from this year and last year.
