Meanwhile...

Dad and Uncle Rick climed a 14er (Mt. Democrat) while the cousins played in the backyard water park. (And inside, and napped, and watched a movie....)

Waterpark fun with Trent and Carson

Most of the good pics are on Aunt Shannon and Grammy K's cameras because I was making Dinner, but I caught a few.

Type A First Child? Yep, got one!

Aren't these three cute?

Who loves their Auntie Em?

Everyone!!!

Cutest picture of Elise, EVER!

Have we mentioned that Elise is fearless?!?

Crazies at the playground!

The playground in Grammy K and Grandpa J's circle was tons of fun!

Sisters sharing!

Just waking up,

and still pretty tired!

Eilse gets alone time!

All of the other Cousins slept at the same time for nap, so Elise got to play with the toys all by herself!

Pool Games

Kira and Trent were on a team and won a squishy 4th of July ball.

Waiting, waiting, waiting

Patience is not a strong suit for 3 and 5 year olds!

Obstacle Course Bounce House

Kira and Cousin Trent did this bounce house countless times. They just couldn't get enough!

Kira "Pimped her ride"

4th of July Parade

Ready and waiting....

Water Baby

Elise, on the other hand, is fearless in the big pool. She loves all parts, even going under...
