COUSINS!

I know, 'where have I been?'  Our family has been away for the majority of the summer.  I was too busy visiting to do any blog posts.  I hope you are ready for some catch up :)

Hailey's twin cousins from Switzerland came for a 3 week visit this month.  Last time they met, Hailey was almost 1 and the twins were 9 mths old.  This years get together was way more exciting for the little toddlers (as I am sure it will be every year from now on).  It invovled a lot of playing, screaming, running, tantrums and learning to share.  I think all of the girls picked up both good and bad habits from visiting each other :)

It was so sweet to see them together and wonderful to see my sister as a mother.  It has been very hard to be so far away from her and her family.  Thankfully we have skype though and get to see each other usually around 3 times a week online.

classic wheelbarrow rides from Papa!  He used to do this with us when we were little.  As each child was added to the 'barrow' they got less impressed with the ride.  This was their first day together... they were still getting used to each other.

 

The child sized chairs were a huge hit.  Good thing grandma had one for each of the girls.  Hailey dragged hers numerous different places.

Snack time outside is way easier to clean up :)

more cousin fun to come...
