Fun time with our cousins

 

Two of our nieces from Cincinnati came to visit while their older sister was recovering from surgery.  We had the best time taking them to the zoo and playing in the river by our house.  The raft was definitely the most popular activity of the weekend!  The boys were so excited the whole time they were here, by the end of the visit they were all more exhausted than we have ever seen before.  There was an awful lot of showing off and physical play among themselves, I guess just trying to impress their cousins.  The girls were so sweet and well behaved, but our boys were a handful!

The best daddy EVER

Our four almost five children are so blessed!  We love you!

Fun summer activity.

We borrowed this raft from some neighbors and took it out on the river across the street from our house.  The boys had the BEST time.  They only stayed in the raft for about 30 seconds, then the real fun was to swim in the river and push the raft around.  The river is quite shallow in many areas so they could touch bottom.  We explored a little tributary that runs through some farmland across the river from our house, which felt like a little adventure.
