Some fun....

Cousin swap......We did a kid swap with our cousins this past week and it was great fun! We swaped 1 boy-Tyler....for 2 girls....Ryley and Payten. We did some fun girl things and had a good time just being together......wwwwwhhheeew! I gotta tell you, it was a little rough at times having 4 girls under one roof, for 4 days. No matter how much they love each other, there is always the drama, hurt feelings, left out, bossy attitudes....ahhhhhhaaa....I was ready to hang my own 2 more than anything!
I was glad to see the treasured Doll house come out from under the dust and the 4 of them playing house.
We made it to the pool one day and had a delicious Taco bell lunch... followed by swimming & sun bathing.
Jelly Belly factory is always a good spot to take our out of town guests. That place is always busy! I was relieved the girls didn't care to go on the Tour. The line was so long already at 10am. So, we stood in the sample line. We must of got in the sample line about 20 times. The guy seemed to be getting really annoyed with us. Too bad for him,,,,we wanted to make sure we tried every flavor.
The promised bowl of popcorn and movies!
We met up to exchange kids back at the Children's Discovery Museum. I really thought Tyler and Cayden would be too big and bored with it,,,,boy was I wrong. They loved it. Everything there is hands on and they get to do so much. I think we will have to go again.


Tyler "practicing" being a paramedic. His patient isn't looking too good!
This place had police motorcycles, cars, ambulances, fire trucks, helicopters...all life size, that the kids could get in, play around, and explore. It was very neat.
We were invited to a BBQ at Chris and Lisa's to swim and visit with Uncle Greg, who was in town. So, of course we loved getting to visit with everyone and taking turns holding
you know who!!!
