Playing with the Cousins

My mom and dad hosted a picnic so the family could see our cousins and aunt and uncle from Texas who were in town. D and M enjoying their time in the water at Grandma and Papa's.



M went fishing for the first time ever. He had a blast touching the fish before throwing them back in. Papa helped him reel in sunny after sunny.







D enjoyed catching fish, too.



D went on the inner tube behind the boat with the big girls (cousins Maddie and Ana). Unfortunately, once out on the open water, the tube flipped over and they got trapped underneath. Ana rescued D out from under the tube, but I think it will be a while before she gets back on one again. She refused to go back on it for the rest of the boat ride.



M and Andrea observed from the dock.



Here they go!



D and I go for walks a couple of evenings a week for some girl bonding time and some exercise for me. After a fun day in the sun, on the lake, and playing with cousins, D actually fell asleep a little over half-way through our walk. She never woke up once the rest of the night! What a tired little girl. Notice she is holding Oso and Cinderella princess shoes, which she insisted on wearing on the walk.
