Lots of family

Every year Kevin's family gets together just after the holidays to eat, and catch up. The kids really enjoy getting to play with their cousins.

Connor hanging out with the big kids.

And realizing a little belatedly that all that brown stuff was mud. The whole rear of his pants were covered from zipping off the end of the slide onto the still muddy ground.

Ryan played with his bus and discovered some sweet gums balls.

And of course we had to swing on the big kid swings just like everyone else.

The kids also enjoyed a wild sea-saw ride - one anchored on each wing as they plane hit turbulence, battled dinosaurs and all manner of foreign enemies to be fired upon and blown out of the sky.
