Rain, rain, go away!

Friday evening everyone showed up. First Grandma and Papaw and Uncle Scott, Aunt Caroline, Lily and Sofie, then Aunt Janelle. Woo Hoo! We are all so excited about what fun the weekend will be. Scott and Caroline had to leave because of work the next day but while we were there we got a Family Photo!
Here we all are!

Lily & Wyatt eating Aunt Janelle's Birthday cake. YUM!!
Aunt Janelle reading the kids a book.
Saturday morning, we woke to RAIN :(
Come to find out it was just the beginning of the wet and cold weather.
Rylee and Sofie in the rain with umbrellas.
Rylee did not mind the rain.
She was having so much fun with her cousins.
Wyatt and Lily. They are so cute together.
Can you tell they are holding hands?
I am so happy they all get along and play so well with each other.
The rain kept us in most of the day. Here we were playing Hide and Seek.
Believe it or not, there were a lot of good hiding spots in that cabin.
Lily hiding in one of the top cabinets. She is a good hider.
Craig hiding under the table.
Lily, Wyatt, Sofie and Rylee.
Lincoln State Park had activities for kids this weekend. We weren't sure if the rain had cancelled the events and the kids were getting "Cabin Fever" so we decided to go and see for sure. They had a Kite Flying Contest and an Egg Hunt scheduled. Yes, an Egg Hut!
Here are the kids with their new Bucket Hats ready for fun!
Well the Kite Flying Contest and the Egg Hunt were cancelled because of the rain but that didn't stop us. We decided to fly kites anyway and a lady there had given us about 2 dozen eggs for the kids.
Rylee with her kite.

Craig did a great job flying his kite. He ended up using string from 4 kites. He was so proud!

Can you see the kite?
The rest of day was spent back at the cabin. Trying to stay as dry and warm as possible. The kids slept like little logs. The weekend went really well considering a few bumps. I hope to get these kids together again soon. What a great bunch they are together!
Breakfast Sunday morning.

Marlene,

Those are all so awesome! It looks like everyone had fun despite the rain. I especially love the first picture of the whole family! The Hie-N-Seek pics are pretty good, too!

Peace and Hugs,
