A Visit With Our Cousins

Last Friday, my cousin Susan and her kids, Sean and Erin, came to visit us all the way from Milwaukee! We had been trying to get together since January, but it seemed like one of us was always sick. Finally we just decided to wait for nice weather!

We started out at our house, just playing with toys and books.




Sean (who Gavin kept calling "John") is great at smiling for the camera...Gavin was just making Super Grover fly around:




Next was lunch at Choo-Choo Johnny's:

There are trains all around the restaurant. They played Thomas the Train videos, model trains ran around, and our lunch even arrived on a train!

Both Gavin and Erin strenously objected to leaving, and they were quite vocal about expressing themselves.

Luckily, they both calmed down in the car. And the next stop was a playground, where they completely redeemed themselves with cuteness:




I had to zoom in on this one - it was so cute:

This is my favorite picture of the day. Just look at those smiles - you can tell they are related!




Resting by a tree...one out of three cousins smiling isn't bad!

The kids played so well together and we can't wait to get together again. Gavin and I are going to drive up north next month!
