Cousin Time

Bethany and Ben had a trip to Hawaii planned and needed help with their kids. They thought it would be way more fun for them to be in Oregon/Washington with their cousins and I couldn't have agreed more. They all flew out to us a couple days before they jetted off for paradise. One of those days we drove out to Silver Falls with the family. 

Since Hunter and Mackayla would be with me during the school week I decided that I would keep one of my kids home each day so they wouldn't be bored silly. On Briella's day we went to the zoo.

The kids pretending to be eagle eggs

Mackayla was not happy with what they were feeding the eagles.

 

Carcass from the vultures. Hunter was obsessed with it. I had to pry him away from it.

 

This was the funniest thing. This orangutan was wearing a shirt and kept playing with it, The kids were laughing like crazy.

 

Way tuckered out

On Avery's day they wanted to go out to lunch.  I didn't get any photos, just videos of these crazy girls. I took this screenshot of one of the videos. These girls are trouble. We were at Burgerville and they were sitting right by a window next to the drive-through line. They were making faces to anyone that would pay attention to them and got some people to act along with them. They were giggling like crazy. They are practically sisters and I love when they are together. 

Of course I didn't get any pictures on James' day! My parents took the kids out to eat one night though.

We had already made plans with some friends to spend a weekend up in Washington. My parents took Hunter and Mackayla and then met us up in Washington on Mother's Day. We descended upon Jon and Betsy for a few hours of craziness! We had all the cousins but Sterling there!

It's a good thing we were all going to see each other in July!
