cousins

family of 13

5 kids
8 grown ups
1 dog
and 10 gallons of water a day :)

it has been 5 1/2 awesome days. and no, i do not keep track by the empty water jugs
but it is so fun how consistent we have been with our water consumption ;)

9 more jugs of water to go...then we have to part once again :'/

visiting pennsylvania

i find myself under this tree again after two years
but this time under different circumstances ;)
it seems like decades ago when i posted this
but really it was only about a hundred blog posts ago
how things change :D

mug shots :D

awesomeness :)

we wanted a rumpus

and so we lit some torches


and waited for darkness

we played with fire

and waited some more


soon we saw Captain Jack Sparrow


and made the statue of Liberty run


some of us truly believed they can parkour

the beach, the moon, and the magic that only a summer night can bring :)

here and well

kicking sand
pulling boats -- for the camera ;)
and hopefully soon --blogging regularly

looking at old pics

...and wondering why i stopped blogging...

i never posted about Snow's boat and how much she loved it

she took it to the pool

the bay

the gulf

i never talked about Maku's garden

where he rode his giant tree

and talked to his shadow

i never mentioned our mustache

and all the fun it brought to our home.
the boat is now wrecked, the tree chopped down, and the mustache destroyed
but what the heck, we are still here. :)
