We had a wee bit of cousin fun this last week, in addition to celebrating the 4th...
A small portion of our family from Missouri visited this last week, and it was great to catch up with them. I always enjoy visiting and hearing about all of the happenings in that neck of the woods. It's also VERY gratifying to compare parenting/relationship notes and find out that you are not crazy/overprotective/under disciplining/heartless/psychotic ....really...we are just mothers and wives trying to do the very best we can. :)
We took a day trip to the Coast, which was great! Lunch at Mo's on the waterfront and a trip to the Aquarium, followed up by the kids soaking themselves in the frigid Pacific and Ice Cream at the naked Mermaid place...otherwise known as Eleanor's Undertow. If you have not been there, it has marvelous Ice Cream, but they seriously need to rethink their decor. Uh, just a clue for the people that run that establishment....mermaids are WONDERFUL, but really, could you just display the DRESSED ones? From the mother of three boys....PLEASE. :) We have been going there since the boys were little, but let's just say that they are starting to NOTICE those naked mermaids!!!!
Brrrr!
This picture cracks me up...two 7-year-olds absolutely EXHAUSTED. LoVe. IT.
The 4th was spent at the family picnic, followed by more food at home, followed by a marvelous firework show put on by hubs, courtesy of Wal-Mart.
Late night jumping on the trampoline...just in case they were NOT already tired!
All in all...AWESOME cousin fun. So glad we were able to catch up!
Now, to make our plans to go see them next summer! CAN'T wait!
