The cousins unite for a wild few days. This was a last minute trip making it a true adventure. We attempted to drive though the night and ended up in a hotel at 4 am somewhere in Nebraska due to heavy rains and very tired eyes. But my brother and sister-in-law were flexible hosts and all 6 kids and 4 adults stayed comfortably in their home. Kai and Addie were old enough and brave enough this visit to sleep with their cousins instead of each other. There was probably less sleep because of it, but sure was fun! The weather was not ideal but Omaha proved to be much more green and blossoming than home. Accompanied by allergies for me....lovely.
Here's all the kiddos together at the Omaha Zoo. Drew 6, Issac 3.5, Kai 3.5, Ella 2, Addie 2, and Eli 11mo. Their zoo is so cool. If you're ever out there, it is always a highlight.
Due to rain there was lots of inside play. Dress up costumes was a hit with Kai and Addie. Kai tried on multiple outfits but the lion was my favorite. We've been watching lots of The Lion King lately and Kai has been working on his "roar!" The pic fits. Addie put on all the "pretties" and never took them off. Princess....need I say more (even with an upside down tiarra).
Here's Eli and Daddy at the zoo. For the most part, Eli was right in on all the playing now that he's mobile to crawl and stand around furniture. He just appreciates being part of the commotion. He would squawk, kick his legs and bounce in happiness. He also loved crawling after the 2 cats they have!
There was some chick time. Aunt Becky painted the girls' toenails (brave job because you have to be quick and an entertainer to keep them from smudging nail polish all over the house)!
Addie and Ella are 6 days apart although not apparent by size. They enjoy each other as much as 2 yr. olds are able and will even more in the future!
Drew, Issac and Kai thoroughly enjoyed each other. They slept together, napped together and played everything together.
Uncle D soaking up some niece time with Ella!
Group storytime with Aunt Becky. It was classic. They won't all fit on that couch much longer!
Looking forward to our next cousin reunion in September for a wedding and the new arrival of another niece!
