Cousin fun

On the tail end of our sickfest last week, the kids' Arizona cousins came for a visit. Aunt Heather came armed with medicine for the sickies and fun crafts and gifts for all. It was a nice break from the intensity of caring for and cleaning up after everyone.

Madelyn and Gabe playing with Mark's old Voltron (not Transformers) toys. These are always a hit when cousins come to town.
Ellie reads to Seth in the library. Seth loves to be read to!The whole gang (minus Madelyn who was at school and Oliver who is visiting his Grammy in Ohio) building an ant colony. Fortunately, only a handful of ant bites were gotten and all were kissed away by the mommies.Seth is diggin' time with cousins. Gabe is especially nurturing with his cousins.Ellie takes a turn on the climbing dome.
Thanks for the great company and fun times Aunt Heather and cousins. If nothing else you've got a few funny stories to share after being with our clan for two days. ;-)
