A Visit from the Cousins

Last week my brother and his family came to visit and we had a great time. As usual I wish I took more pictures of the fun but at least we have the memories. We made our usual trip to the outlets. Every time my family comes out we always seem to make a trip to the outlets, so it has sort of become a tradition. It was a lot of fun but I made SC promise to take me back when I am no longer pregnant. The huge belly is definitely a deterrent when buying clothes. On Saturday we made a trip to the beach. AC was not really a fan of the water. In fact we had to force her to get her feet wet. She was content however, with refilling a bowl with sand over and over and over again. Whatever makes her happy. She also enjoyed stomping on the sand castles that her cousins made. My niece and nephew were really good sports about that. The rest of the trip included hanging out, games and food. We had to have the traditional 4-5 watermelon rolls from Friendly’s. My mom always stocks up because you can’t get them out west. Just from our few posts on this blog you can tell that food is central to a lot of our plans. It was so much fun to see everyone, we were so happy they could come out and AC loved bonding with the cousins. My niece and nephew were really sweet to AC and would let her chase them around the house all the time. During the chases my little nephew taught AC that great little taunting song “na na na na na”. Out of all the sweet and cute things my niece and nephew do that is of course what stuck and now she does this all the time. We were out shopping yesterday and AC was singing it at the top of her lungs. (I thought my brother and sister-in-law would get a laugh out of that). We were so happy you guys came. We had a great time and miss you already!
