We had a blast on the pontoon boat. Kamren and Aaron really bonded. Kamren and Aaron also loved playing legos together and they had a blast playing X Box.
Brynn loved being with her Aunt Kristi. Aunt Kristi was so nice to help the girls make their own bracelets too. She even made a beautiful one to match my Sunday dress.
Lexi and Ashleigh just adored Kimberly. Kimberly was so sweet to give the girls American Girl Doll cards. She also played many games with them. Ashleigh just loved looking at all her jewelry and finding all the treasures in her bedroom. Kimberly even put pink in her hair and painted her nails and did makeup for the girls. I loved watching the girls cousins bond.
Kimberly and I had a blast shopping at the outlets after the zoo. I just love being around teenagers. Kimberly is such a good girl. She truly inspires me to want to be better.
Kamren just adores his cousin Aaron. Aaron turns twelve this week and Kamren is 7. Kamren was the next grandson born after Aaron. We are glad that they love each other so much and they have a lot in common.
Here are all the cousins that we visited. We had a great time at the zoo and having a family picnic. It was fun to watch the boy cousins play together and the girl cousins played together.
Brynn was connected with Kimberly and she loved her ni night. She loved it when Kimberly would hold her.
Kamren went to class with Aaron at church and Ashleigh went all by herself. Brynn just ran into nursery and had a blast. Kamren and Ashleigh loved sitting with their cousins at church.
Since the Olympics were finishing we decided to have some Olympic games for the cousins and then Kristi made us yummy pizza with the Olympic rings on it and yummy chocolate cake with the same Olympic rings. The kids loved the whole celebration of the Olympics.
At first Audrey and Brynn wanted the same things and they let each other know it but then towards the end they gave each other loves and Brynn loved getting things for Audrey. It was so cute.
We went to visit Grandpa Staples old business. The police man came by to see if everything was okay and then the manager came out to see if we needed anything. I guess we looked suspicious taking pictures in front of the egg farm. We love small towns!
We went and visited Kevin's home where he grew up. It still looked beautiful.
We are so grateful that we had this time with the Staples. They took such amazing care for us. The adults had fun playing games and watching the Olympics together. It was a trip never to be forgotten.
