A visit to see COUSINS!

I am WAY behind in posting on the blog.  Time just keeps moving!  I have lots of excuses, but I"m sure you would rather see pictures!

I'll start with Memorial Day.  We got up early Monday morning and jumped in the van to head to Circleville to see the "Adkins cousins".  The kids had a blast and wore themselves out!  Below are some pictures from our fun filled day!

Maddie loved Emmi's jeep.  Although we realized that it was much better if Maddie had a chauffeur.  Emmi is getting so big.  She's 6 now and quite the little lady!

The kids played ball for a little bit.  Both Emmi and Sarah (pictured below with Ronnie) are playing softball this year. 
This picture below shows 1st base (wood pile).  I think in this picture.  Ronnie was the base runner and Sarah was 1st baseman!

It was such a warm day on Monday!  We spent a lot of time outdoors, but we also had to come in for some cool down too!  It's fun to have everyone together.  6 of Ryan's 6 of ours and Grandpa and Grandma = a full fun house!

These 2 were just so cute together!

More Jeep riding! 

Just realizing as I type this that it is pretty obvious who the babies of both families are isn't it? 

Uncle Ryan grilled lunch for us, with Grandpa and Ron's help!

This was so cute. 

Maddie and Emmi just came up to snuggle with Uncle Ryan!

I've mentioned before how hard it is to get 4 kids to take a good picture.  Well it's not much easier to get 8.  The warm weather made for a nice "sweaty" look and everyone was tired by the time we got to picture number 1!

But we still tried!

Casey (13), Morgan (11), Ronnie (almost 9), Sarah (8), Nathaniel (7), Emmi (6), Eli (5) and Maddie (3)

and Grandma wanted to try some more!

The girls tried, while the men just laughed at our attempts!

Don't let these 2 fool you, they are ornery!

Very Ornery!

Our own sweaty family!

Grandpa and Grandma were so excited to have all 8 together, it doesn't happen often enough at all, but especially if you are a Grandparent!

Missing one uncooperative cousin, but 7 out of 8 isn't bad!

Ron with his brother and Dad!

We had a fun time, it was short, but fun!  We need to do it more often! 
So Adkins Cousins, when are you coming our way???
