Cousins, parks and pumpkinland.

After a long drive from Idaho, we were extremely happy when our cousins pulled up to stay with us overnight.

Becca came down with the two kids, and we are so glad that she did. The kids had a grand adventure playing together, and loving being cousins. They had so much fun, we commented on more than one occassion how much we wished everyone in the family lived closer so all the kids could play more often and be together all the time. They have such a good time together!

The day she arrived, was the day I discovered my camera was broken.

So I don’t have any pictures of the kids pal-ing around, 🙁
But trust me they had fun. Playing with toys, riding bikes around the cul-de-sac, going to the park (Becca took them while I was at a Doctors Appointment with Elliot), giggling away the night (Tucker WAS NOT happy about that, he needed his sleep apparently) and then we went to pumpkinland.

It wasn’t until Pumpkinland, that I remembered about Tuckers camera (our old camera). We pulled it out. It did the trick
of taking a few pictures that were not blurry, or snapped before everyone had moved. 🙂

Of course we had to stop and take pictures here:

We went through the corn maze

Saw the animals

Jumped on the inflatables

Played on the playground

Went through the lighted non-spook alley, then found our pumpkins.


As much as I hate the how far away we are from our family, I love when we get to have people come and stay with us. These are the moments of life that are the good stuff… All the rest is not necessary, but Family, that’s the best.

Thanks Becca for making such a long trip, by yourself, to be with us.
Hopefully you returned to a nice fixed dishwasher 🙂
