Cousins, Part 2

by 1 Comment

“Cousins are those childhood playmates who grow up to be forever friends.”

We recently rented a house in Sunriver with my parents, brother and sister’s family. Cousin bonding at its finest. The hot weather called for cool afternoon treats of shaved ice. Afterward they compared their rainbow of tongue colors. Blue raspberry dominated.

Luke’s injury (note the cast) prior to arrival kept him benched for some activities, but that didn’t stop him from playground antics, bike riding (thank goodness for helmets 🙂 and strapping on SaranWrap for a relaxing dip in the tub.
Post swim ice cream!
We ventured to the park one morning for a DIY family photo shoot…
But didn’t exactly capture the Christmas card shot Gaga was hoping for 🙂
