We jumped on their trampoline, had video game marathons, went to the living museum, saw fireworks in the planetarium, had a BBQ with friends, and just loved being with cousins!
Uncle Jared and Aunt Lindsay's new dog, Sammy, was very popular. Sydney called him "Ruffy" the whole time and had a love/hate relationship with him. She spent most of the time either calling for him to come here or talking about how much she loved him and how much he loved her. But when he got close she would scream and jump onto the sofa or into someone's arms as quick as she could, "I scared I scared" she say. He was actually a great dog. And Connor was in love, being so gentle and kind to him and helping feed him or talk to him or telling him to sit or shaking his paw, he is just like Daddy and would love a dog. Bella on the other hand liked the dog but had know idea how to treat him kindly, she petted/pulled his tail a couple times until Shea told her if she does that he will bite her! A couple times she got too rough when playing and hit him in the face; we had to have lots of talks with her, and Sammy learned pretty quick to stay away from her.
The drive down was a LONG 8 1/2 hours of stop and go traffic, the kids did amazing though! The way back we wanted to leave in the middle of the night but ended up leaving at 6AM which worried me we would hit rush hour but actually it only took 4 1/2 hours not including our two yummy stops, for breakfast donuts and lunch at chick-fil-a, where Shea gave Piper her first taste of real food a French fry.
Now the kids are going through playmate withdrawal. Connor and Bella have the hardest time without their cousin twins. Fortunately, everyone has the Stanger Family Reunion to look forward to in August!
