good times with cousins












































































Several weeks ago my sister, Becky, and her family were in town and oh, we had a good time.

The kids prepared and performed for the family a play called "The 8 Angry Pigs." It's a funny play we found online that my sister, Sarah, adapted for our group. Thanks to a kindergarten teacher for the pig "costumes" and thanks to my brothers for being good sports and each taking a part.

The girls decorated flip flops, the boys played air soft and the x-box 360, we played cards and capture the flag. We had a birthday party and good food, lots of visiting, and not enough sleep. Everyone was here except Mindy and her family who live back east (we missed you!).

The grand finale of our time together was a day at Boondocks (a family fun center). We drove race cars, squirted people on the bumper boats, played laser tag and video games, and finished with a round of miniature golf. It was loads of fun! (We went on a Tuesday, crowds were minimal, and we got a group (10 or more) discount, so it worked out well!).

What a great way to spend five days!
