Fun with the Cousins

It was so much fun to see all the cousins interact while we were in Texas.  Nana and PopRo rented a crazy house on South Padre Island with four bedrooms so everyone could be together...all the time. 

Cuz Jonah and Noah had a blast one afternoon with sidewalk chalk in the front courtyard.  This crazy monster was drawn by Uncle Drew and the boys thought it was so funny to stand in his mouth.

Cuz Jonah yelled, "EEK!  He's going to eat me!"

Noah joined in the scary fun.

Nana and PopRo brought Legos for all the cousins to play with.  There was loads of building, breaking, sharing, stealing, crying, and laughing between all the cousins.

Cuz Hunter worked very hard on some awesome cars.  You can see how impressed Uncle Kc is.

 

Cuz Brooklyn is an absolute cutie-patootie.  She was waiting so very patiently to play with some Play Doh. 

 

We had a few excursions throughout the week.  We went to an amazing turtle rescue center on South Padre Island as well as the Sea Life Nature Center in Port Isabel.  You can just imagine how excited Noah was at both locations.  He was in Fishy Heaven!!!

The Sea Life Center was perfect size for little kiddos.  The could run all over and explore the amazing amount of animals in such a little place.  Bubs thought this tank looked like the tank in Finding Nemo.  He kept asking me where the clown fish were.  Actually, they were in a tank a few steps away.

 

Bubs loved watching the very slow turtle

and even got to hold a starfish.  How fun!

All in all, the cousins got along famously and even taught each other some new tricks.  Noah learned how to jump on the bed from Cuz Hunter and Cuz Jonah and taught them how to do "fishy faces".

It had been over a year since all the cousins had been together but you never would have known it.  The laughed, played, ran, jumped, screamed, fought, cried, hugged, giggled, and generally acted like cousins.  We can't wait to do it all again next year!
