Chock Full of Cousiny Goodness!

The best thing about Utah is COUSINS! Ella and Nat had a terrific time playing and playing and PLAYING with Jacob, Laurinda, and Lindley from Pleasant Grove and Spencer, Zack, and Alli (My Palli) all the way from India! (We missed Nico and Cata very much--they were enjoying themselves in Chile.)

Here's Nat and Alli. I call her Alli My Palli, and Nat calls her "Alli-da-palli". They WUV each other.


Hayrides and rock candy--it just doesn't get any better.


Here the cousins pose on their great-grandpa's tractor.


We tie-died patriotic t-shirts for the 4th of July.


I made all the girls matching skirts.


All the kids had fun bouncing around at Kangaroo Zoo.


A trip to Hogle Zoo is always a must. (Not pictured: a harrowing train ride through a hail storm)


Uncle Steve, a.k.a Cap'n Beav, planned a pirate treasure hunt for the kids, complete with sword fighting, rope swinging, talking like a pirate, and dubloons!
