Cousins

It brings happiness and cheer to my soul when I see how much fun Ollie has had with his cousins this summer. He loves to play with them, copy them, follow them around, and learn new things from them. We have done so many fun things lately. A few weeks ago we went to Big Surf with Beth and kids. Ollie & Drake spent a couple hours there and then I took them to G-ma and Gpa's to nap. It didn't take long for both of them to pass out. I ditched the Dodo's and went back to hang out with these fun kiddos 

until closing time. 

It was a blast!

A couple days after that, we all went to Stapley Pool.  Ollie absolutely loved it there.

& so did I, for that matter.

After  l  o  n  g  days of swimming, we both enjoyed chilling out at home.

Ollie even fell dead asleep in the car one day, which NEVER happens.

Most of the time, this is what happens in the car...

This week, we went to the Sea Life Aquarium with Heather and kids.

Ollie thought this place was pretty rockin' as well.

Ryan and Ollie {Ryan was just trying to turn Ollie's head so he would look at the camera. :)}

In the shark tunnel, the floor was glass and Ollie sprawled out on it to get a better look at the creatures under his feet.

Have I forgot to mention the AWESOME RED RAIN BOOTS?

I found those bad boys for $6 and couldn't pass them up. They have been his shoe of choice for the last several days. :) Somebody get this kid some cowboy boots!

We have loved spending our summer days with cousins! It's exhausting...

but worth it!
