Hawaii Cousins Arrive

Because our extended families dot the globe, we do not see everyone as often as we would like to.  We anticipated Jared and Stephanie's arrival on Monday, June 29th and enjoyed a potluck BBQ with everybody in town before the older kids/cousins left for our stake pioneer trek early the next morning.  And while I was down three kids and a husband for a few days, our house was far from quiet.
Sophie, Aiden, Brock, Collin, Quinn (red shorts), Benson, Coach M.
Isaac (9) and Grant (11) came to Quinn's t-ball game.  Nice way to finish the season!
We celebrated Isaac's 9th birthday together at the local water park on July 1st.
Grant, (girl from Hawaii that happens to be moving here), Greta, Isaac, Anna, Elsie, Quinn
Stephanie joined the pic holding Jett and Jagger on far left.
The next day Jared and Stephanie drove to SLC to pick up a rented RV for Stephanie's camping/family reunion but I kept the party going.

The cousins played and played and played....

More water fun at the middle pond.
It's certainly not the ocean these boys are used to but the kids had a great time.
Surprisingly, Quinn and Elsie don't mind swimming around with the fish.
Anna, Grant and Isaac on the 'dock'.
Late that afternoon (July 2), our exhausted trekkers arrived home.
