Cousins are the next best thing to having siblings . . . . well, some may think they are better to have than siblings! :) Having grown up with many, many first and second cousins to whom my brothers and I were close to, I know first hand how close a person can become to cousins and what fond memories we made when growing up! We are happy that Cora and Ben have cousins that they are close to and with whom they have already been making great childhood memories!
While visiting this past weekend, Cora and Ben had a visit from their cousins! Jeni's sister, brother-in-law, and three children came by for a short visit! There is a total of five children, and it appears they always have a great time when they get together! It was a pretty day, so the older cousins went out to play. I was able to capture some of their fun via pictures.
Ben being the youngest of the cousins was content to stay inside and do what he loves to do . . . SMILE!
Haddie was content to just watch the others, but I have a feeling it won't be long until she will be right in the middle of what ever the older ones are doing!
Cora and Riley are closer in age and appear to be on the fast track of being best buddies. We were playing hide-n-seek! They turned their heads so they couldn't "see me!" I guess this meant I couldn't see them! It was so cute, and they loved "out running" me!
Ooops . . . I found their hiding place! :)
Riley had a great time swinging on "his" car swing in the back yard! He wanted me to push him "way up high" into the sky!!!!
Cora had a great time too! She didn't really want to go as high as Riley! :):)
We must not forget Molly, the four-legged cousin! She runs and runs from the cousins most of the time. She was all worn out from an afternoon of cousins!!! :):) They all love Molly, but for the most part, Molly just wants to be left alone! :):)
Cora had a great time too! She didn't really want to go as high as Riley! :):)Sophia is the oldest of the cousins and many times is like the "mother hen" watching over the "little ones!" She loves Cora, and Cora loves her. She is pushing Cora in the swing as Haddie looks on! All of the cousins love one another and have such a good time together!!!
There were times when Sophia did her own thing! Here she was "making wood" for her Grampy so he could make something with it!
We must not forget Molly, the four-legged cousin! She runs and runs from the cousins most of the time. She was all worn out from an afternoon of cousins!!! :):) They all love Molly, but for the most part, Molly just wants to be left alone! :):)
It was so much fun watching the kids play and knowing that there will be a day when they look back at of all the pictures taken of them with smiles on their faces. The pictures will cause them to remember the fun times they had together when they were young! May they continue making more and more memories as the years go by!!!
