Cousin Time

Friday, June 17 - Monday, June 20, 2016

Lee always goes on a couples only vacation with Melissa for their anniversary each year.  We usually help watch their kids, and we had them stay for a few days. On Saturday, our family went to Avery Driscoll's funeral services. Avery was one of Camyrn's close friends when they were younger and had been battling a brain tumor off and on for several years. The service was very positive and her brave parents even gave talks.  At the end of the funeral, they of the funeral they handed out Avery's favorites, Cheetos and Barqs Rootbeer (my kind of girl) and we released ballon into the air.

 

We left Alexis home, watching the cousins. Well, Mason was on the pogo stick and fell onto his arm.  It was pretty bad and Chris came over and helped while we were gone.  We were trying to get a hold of Lee and decided to take the kids to go see Finding Dory, hoping that would get his mind off of it.  

The movie was cute and Mason looked to be doing better when it was over, so when I talked to Lee, we decided to just get a brace for his wrist and not go see a doctor.

That night we made a fire and roasted marshamllows and made S'mores. Austin didn't want to get his shirt dirty! The marshmallows were a little big.

 

The kids had made a fort in the living room and slept together under it each night.  

The rest of the weekend was fun but busy - going to church with 7 kids is a lot! The cousins love being together and I am so glad they get to grow up together. 

Melissa took Mason to the doctor later that week and his arm was broken! Oops!
