Time with Cousins

The Payne family came to Childress for a few days so everyone was excited for some cousin time. We had a lot of fun playing and doing all sorts of things. We hung out at Nana and Papa's house Sunday, and we brought home 3 extra boys with us. The kids were all so excited! The next day, first thing in the morning, the boys were all playing football. Bentley got a hold of the whistle and was the coach for them. There was a lot of Pokemon trading and playing baseball too. There were in and out so much I didn't realize they were getting sun burnt, opps! Shayla and Brock brought Brek with them that evening for dinner, and we enjoyed some time together as adults too!

The next day we came to swim, but had to leave soon after for Kyler's baseball practice.  The next day we went to the lake house and had dinner and fun.  Most of us made it down to the dock where some kids were fishing, some were skipping rocks, hunting for grasshoppers for fishing bait, looking for shells, etc.  Then we got a fire going and had roasted marshmallows and s'mores.  The kids loved it!  Til next time cousins!!

Lots of boys means lot of wrestling.
Kyler and Damon have no idea what real wrestling is so they just roll around and jump on one another.
Damon gets quite intense.

Boys boys lots of boys!!
Playing with the big boys gets ya hurt sometimes!
Poor girl feel face first into the asphalt.  Obviously her lip took the brunt of it!
Football first thing in the morning!  They even had a 'coach' on the sideline with a whistle.
These boys love playing together and it works out great because each of them have a buddy so close in age.
Going to the library to watch the animal show and then touched a snake and a gecko.

The sunset over the water was so pretty when we were at the lake house.

She loved fishing and was so proud of herself.
Lots of fish and turtles were caught.

Everyone loves Mackenzie, but Taysom has always loved holding her and getting her attention. Thankfully she did smile at him and give him some attention.
