All American Weekend

We made a trip back over the river and through the woods to celebrate the 4th of July. It was a fun-filled weekend. The best part was seeing my cousins and their families! We don't get to see them often so it was especially nice. I think we are going to make this a yearly thing and I'm so glad! Here are the pictures to document the FUN...

All American Kids...

Claire eating my homemade ice cream...YUMMY!!

Girls being GIRLS...

Boys being BOYS...

Logan and Nate (Nate is my cousin Shannon's son who is the same age as Logan and he loves to play with him. He is already looking forward to seeing Nate next year.)

Enjoying a snack on the boat...

Addie and Aunt Gina...

Addie caught her first fish and she is SO proud...

We stayed and extra day after everyone left and the kids got some EXTRA snuggle time with Papa Skip and Grammy...

And here are some pictures of all the family...

This is Sam with my cousin Shannon's newest baby girl, Molly. Molly is Shannon's 5th child...WOW!!!!

Best Buds...

And here is a picture of all of us together, minus Philip who was already sleeping...

Addie and my cousin Karen's little girl, Lily...

Best Buds watching the fireworks not wanting to tell each other "Good-bye and see you again next year"...

We are looking forward to our visit again next year! It will be fun to see my cousin's new baby girl, due in 2 months, and to see how all the kids have grown and changed in a year's time!
