The Cousins

This was a really special gathering, since it was the first time that all of the cousins have been in the same place at the same time. It was fun to see them all together, and see their friendships forming and growing. They are quite a crew.

In order form oldest to youngest we have: Gabe(12), Fuller(12), Holland(12), Elsie(10), Lakota(9), Grayson(8), Jack (7), Cozette(7), Rowan (6),and Ben(5).
Sometimes they all played together, and other times they would break into smaller groups. There was pretty much a prefect span of kids at different ages so that everyone had someone to play with.
Here's the "big kid" gang. They got along great, and only tried to hold their "status" over the "little" kids a few times.

For the most part the kids required little on no adult intervention. Uncle Aaron and Aunt Sandy's place is just fantastic. They had so many options of things to do, and the kids generally came up with their own games and activities.
They all spent a lot of time playing on the trampoline.


"Dead Man" seemed to be the most popular game.


Sometimes they all played games together. Aunt Barb is the BEST at getting kids going on a game.


They also swam together, even though most of the time it really wasn't THAT warm.


But mostly they just spent time hanging out and catching up.

And it was wonderful to see those friendships pick right up where they left off.
