On the Road Again!

You know it is summer when we head to Nana and Poppop's to visit our cousin for the week! Boy did we have a big time...in between all the bickering between my little man and his older cousin. Oh, what good times! Here is the crew, minus Josh and Poppop.

As you can see, we spent most of our time in the pool. Andrew is modeling the new goggles he got special for the trip. We should have left them at Target where we bought them. I think posing for the picture was the longest he had them on. Oh well, they look good! :) Safe to say he picked up all the little neighborhood ladies in these.

There is no diving board at Nana's...thank goodness. Therefore the kiddos created their own by jumping off the spa. Andrew is not the greatest of swimmers yet, but boy can he get around and pop right up from under the water in his styling floaty suit.

Once COMPLETELY slathered in sunscreen, little miss went in the pool. She had a pretty big time too, but was quite slippery from all the lotion. She spent most of her time relaxing in the shade with Nana and me. Come this time next year, I imagine she will be right in the thick of things as well.

In the evenings...to recover from being water logged...we took the kids to various play places around town. One I would highly recommend is "Going Bonkers". It is a GIANT McDonald's-like play set. There is climbing, sliding, zip-lining, and various other things throughout to wear all of us out.
A good time was had by all...but sadly the week came to an end and we got caught on a closed down I-35 on our way home. There was some kind of big wreck and we crept along VERY slowly for about an extra hour and a half.
