Cousin Pictures!!

Presenting the last complete cousin picture for the next three years....

We finally had to move the oldest two cousins to stand behind the couch!

Isaac (6), Derek (6), Logan (5), Andrew (5), Preston (4), Emeri (3), Bryce (3), Savanna (3), Clara (2), Sierra (2), Oakley (2 weeks shy of 2) and Asher (16 months)!

The reward for compliance? MARSHMALLOWS!! :D

Today was a full day! We played at the splash pad and the park and then drove to Austin and Liz's house for pizza and a movie. The kids have been looking forward to seeing Zootopia and tonight is the night! It's so much fun having all the cousins together and they had a great time taking up the ENTIRE couch. All the adults ended up sprawled on the floor or corners of the giant love sac.

Constant motion

Bryce and Emeri off on a whirlwind adventure

Levitation!

Derek really loves these water jets

Running, running, running

Derek's favorite things - moving his body and playing in water

Clara and Sierra were a little less enthusiastic about getting wet

Preston found an itty bitty toad

See?

Isaac, Preston and Logan were fascinated with that toad and took turns holding it

Logan was actually happy to hold the toad

Love these sisters of mine! :D

Derek and Andrew apparently weigh as much as Bryce and Preston

Sweet Savvy!

Sweet Sierra!

Windblown

Later in the day, Clara fell asleep in the car and Derek was struck by a tender, big brotherly kindness to hold her hand and be so very sweet and gentle with her

Caught him stroking and kissing her little fingers

...and then she shifted in her sleep and the funny-boy face was priceless

Movie Time! That couch is getting full!

Walking the Square

We met up with the cousins to get cupcakes from Tammy's shop and walk around McKinney Square. I didn't take many pictures (my stroller is a tank!), but the kids were cute and happy to be out and about. Derek was pushing Asher in his stroller and Lanae and I were both a little on-edge. "Derek! slow down!" "Derek, watch out!" "Derek!" "DEREK!!!" :S Asher was alive and well at the end of the walk and Derek was happy to have helped out. Savvie got tired toward the end of the walk but the strollers were full, so we let her sit on Bryce's lap/squish in with him. These kids were so cute!

Clara, Savvie and Bryce being sooooo cute!

Driving back home, they fell asleep!!! Boom.

Derek's hat still creeps me out, haha!

The Rainforest Cafe

Voila! Part two of Grandma's surprise - the Rainforest Cafe! I had never been to one, but I always thought the decorations were really cool. The food was a little overpriced of course, but it was the experience that will stay with us for a lifetime. The kids were thrilled with the elephants, dancing gorillas, tigers and HUGE butterflies on the trees. It was so cool! Thank you for a great memory, Grandma! :D

Everybody thought the life-size crocodile was pretty cool...

...but the kids were especially enthralled

Look at all the tree frogs!

Bryce was pretty chill the whole time. I think he was worn out from running around the aquarium

Grandma and Oakley

The three October birthdays had to do a silly dance while the waiters sang a birthday song

Arts and Crafts

Aunt Lizzy pulled out a fun arts-and-crafts idea for the kids to get them revved up for Halloween. She gave each kid a picture of a ghost or a bat plus a handful of marshmallows and some glue and they went to work. The kids glued the marshmallows around the outline of their picture while sneaking bites of marshmallow when they thought we weren't looking. Silly kids. Mommies see EVERYTHING! Lol.
