Cousins by chance, friends by choice.

We LOVE it when our cousins come to visit! We had such a fun weekend!

We went to the splash pad, went swimming, ran through the sprinklers and played on the slip-and-slide. What else is there to do in July in Houston?

(Sorry for the poor quality of this photo - my poor camera on my phone is pretty lousy. This night at the Boyers was the first time that Megan jumped off the diving board. Once she tried it, she went crazy, jumping 15 or so times.)

We ate yummy food that Travis cooked for us...

And we introduced Eleanor's kids to some fun new ways to eat dairy...

I didn't get pictures, but the kids all had a blast playing together. Josh and Ethan were especially nice to play with Jared. He LOVED having his big cousins spend so much time with him, playing Xbox.

And best of all, we had ice cream at Ritters. But I didn't get any pictures. Had other things (ie. eating ice cream as quickly as possible) on my mind.

Here's a picture of the newest cousins - they are 4 months apart in age. Aren't they adorable?
