cousins, campfires, amazing weather = AWESOME weekend

Chad, Shannon and crew came down to spend the weekend. It was beautiful. The kids played outside most of the whole day on Saturday. They built a fort in the woods, rode bikes, played animals and climbed on the playset. We drove over to a great hiking trail and wandered through the woods. We ended the night with a wonderful bonfire. While the four adults were sitting around the fire, we were just cracking up at the kids running around with flashlights in the dark. They were so cute and making great memories together. I couldn't believe how dark it was and yet they still wander the woods. I wouldn't be doing that!!!!!!
They actually slept in until 7 am. Usually they are so excited to be together that the boys wake up during the night and/or early morning to play... They just can't get enough of each other.
Brett and Chad decided to head up to Muskegon to do a little fishing on Sunday. These two "littles" just love hugging, playing dolls, and just whatever together. They are definitely best friends!!!!!!

These two girls love to dress up and put on dancing shows for us.

Notice how dirty these boys are. They played so much outside. They are quite the buddies - Blake and Drake

We couldn't resist a little photo shoot in the backyard. My kids were not cooperating. I think that they are done with pictures for awhile. Caitlin cried and said that she didn't want her picture taken. So Shannon took my camera and headed outdoors. She got amazing pics of Ava and Gracie.
