Benner Cousins!

My sister Christine (aka Steen) comes down to my mom's house every summer for a week. She hinted that she might not come this summer, but after I threathened to not speak to her anymore, she decided to still come! As always, we had lots of fun, however we did miss Ash and her girls. Here are some things we did:

We went the pool

Went to a fossil digging site - yes, it was pretty much what it looks like - a big pile of rocks. I guess the rocks are from the bottom of the ocean, so there was a lot of shark's teeth in the rocks.

There was also a HUGE shark's mouth inside that Emily was "so scared' of. She did gain the courage to go inside and go past the shark to go to the restroom, however she had her face buried on my mom's shoulder. But she was very happy to report afterwards that she opened her eyes to look at the shark. Way to go girl!



I love this picture! Usually Emily is in the middle when they give hugs and it is so cute!

There was also a lot of cuddling! Christine brought a babysitter/friend on the trip and it was so nice to have an extra hand around. Sarah and Esther formed a special bond and Sarah loved falling asleep on Esther every night, however I didn't get any pictures of that.

Then they stopped by our house on the way home so they could see it.

And Sarah had lots of fun during their short visit...

Getting pushed in the baby doll stroller

And getting pulled around the kitchen floor on a blanket... fun times!

We love you guys and hope to see you soon!
