Price Fun

Nothing is more fun for the kids then having their cousins visit. They have so much fun just being with them Although it seems that time goes double as fast when they are here visiting. One of the things that is so great is three of the kids ages match up so well. Carson is older than all of my kids, but he seems to have fun with everyone too. And it doesn't matter that they are boys, my girls couldn't have any more fun with them.

They got the boys all into America's Got Talent. They had fun watching all the crazy acts.

Russ sure loves his big cousin Carson. He just loves hanging out with the boys so much.

The kids found a couple of frogs in the bin at the pool where we swam and I think it may have been the first time they had seen them in the wild, so they all thought it was pretty cool. Especially Russy.

Nothing like laying out in the sun after swimming.

Nellie and her buddy Max. He was so patient with her fear of water. He is very much the opposite and I am sure wanted to be swimming more, but he hung out with her instead.

Russ found my keys (big surprise). The boy has a serious obsession with them. He is always trying to dig in Kevy's pocket to get the keys so he can carry them around. He knows they start the car so he loves it. We even have to let him start the car with the keys before he will let us buckle him in. It is too funny.

After spending a few days with us up here, the Prices went down to see Grandma and grandpa in Fairfield. We came down the nextt day and went down to Santa Cruz for a day. We sure love Santa Cruz, it is such a fun place!

Nellie and Max were once again glued to each other. I just love to see them together. It is so fun how they just love to be together so much. I caught them even holding hands. Love it!

Grandma and Grandpa came along and had fun with all the grandkids. It sure was a fun group. Uncle Joe came too and spent his birthday with us. Here they are enjoying some cotton candy. Russ wouldn't have any because of the texture of it. He just kept looking at me like "What are you trying to feed me mom?"

Janie and Jack had fun riding the airplane together.

Lizzy and Austin rode this crazy ride. I used to love the one at Lagoon called music express that just goes around and around really fast. There is no way I could ride it now, my stomach is too weak. I seriously got a little sick just watching them. Lizzy loved it though and giggled her head off.

Janie and Grandma rode the little roller coaster and Nellie and I rode behind them. Nellie was a bit of a complainer that day about not being able to ride certain rides because she wasnt tall enough. But at least she could ride this one.

My Dad was such a big helper with Russ. Russ was his little buddy. I went on this little adventure without Kevy because he had to stay and work, so I was a little worried about it with five little kids. But everyone was such a help to me that it wasn't too bad. Plus Annie slept really good that day, so that helped.

There was a little drop ride so we went on it. It was fun because all the kids that wanted to ride could ride it. But once we got up there and the dropped us Jane was not happy about it and just kept asking when it was over. I don't think she is ever going to be very adventurous, but who knows.

I love this picture of Nellie and Max toeghter

Lizzy and her buddy. She sure loves her cousin Austin and they have so much fun together!

This was the only ride that Russ rode, but with his obsession with cars and trucks right now, it was the greatest He got to "drive" it himself and he just loved it. In fact getting him out of the car wasn't too easy. He wanted to stay on it.

 

After the boardwalk we headed down to the beach and let the kids play. Russ just sat in the sand and ate it. I don't know what the obsession was this time.

Jane and Jack getting ready to head into the water.

Russy had more fun playing with the sand toys this time which was fine since Anne woke up and wanted attention. We did play a bit in the water, but not too much. It was such a busy packed day at the beach that day. There was even a contortionist dancer that had a micophone and was doing a weird dance where he kept bending his arm in weird ways. It is so interesting seeing different kinds of people.

We had so much fun with our buddies and having them come out and visit us. It is always sad when a vacation comes to an end, but it is fun to look back and remember the memories we have.
