Hooray for Cousins!

Whew, the last week has been crazy! We have been having so much fun with our cousins, we haven't had much time to do anything else! Jeremy's older brother Chris and his wife Kanae and their two kids Elena and Eiden are visiting from Japan. We only get to see them every couple of years, so it's been really fun to visit and spend time together. Jeremy's younger brother Keith and his wife Ceianna, and their kids, Cade, Zoe, Brittney, and Maggie came too. We don't get to see them as often as we'd like either, so we crammed a lot of fun into a week. If anyone is keeping count that's 9 kids under the age of 7. We're lucky to have our kids pretty close in age, so everyone has a friend and they have lots of fun playing together. We managed to get to the park, go bowling, play at the splash pad, eat lots of food and spend lots of time outside. We also did three days at the beach, but I am sure that deserves a post of it's own :) Bowling was fun, we took up four lanes with the 17 of us...adult boys on one, kid boys on one, kid girls on one, and adult girls on the last one. It worked out pretty well, except that the kid girls have no power to get that ball down the lane! By the time the rest of us were done, they were only on their 6th frame. It was pretty funny...I think you could watch water boil faster than some of those balls were rolling! We had dinner at Burgerville...which is always a treat, especially when Walla-Walla sweet onion rings are in season, YUM! So, enjoy these pics of kid bliss!

We took up a lot of room at Burgerville!


We thought this would be a good way to keep track of kids! (Audri with Zoe) (Brayden and Cade)

Elena is such a good little mommy to Makenna!
