Spring Break, aka, Cousin Week

Our Spring Break was low-key but fun.  The first day, we went to an indoor pool in Lehi, meeting up with my cousin and her kids for a couple of hours of water play.  Luke wasn't into it, but The Bigs had a blast, and loved getting to play with their second cousins.



On the second day of Spring Break, Ben's brother and his family arrived from Texas.  They are moving here and staying with us while looking for a place to live.  This means we now have 10 kids under 10 in the house - the ages are 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 5, 3, 2, 1, and 3 months.  These first cousins had a blast getting to play for the rest of the week!  



Cousin Sleepover in the play room - a funner way to sleep when there's no school the next day.




Checking out books and putting on a puppet show at the library.  Always popular.



The Bigs and The Other Bigs completed an In & Out Burger reading challenge, earning them free burgers.  So we had a fun lunch one afternoon, enjoying the fruits of their labors.




These guys had a great time playing games, watching shows, drawing with sidewalk chalk, going to the playground, and even turning our empty Harry Potter closet into The Cousins' Country Club.  (Members Only.)  They managed to keep themselves pretty busy!



And Eliza simply couldn't - and still can't - get enough of this little guy.  He seems to kinda like her too.



One afternoon while cousins were out and Luke was sleeping, The Bigs and I painted bird houses.  When Jack was done, he did some more sidewalk chalk.





A great week!
