We went out of town this weekend - to visit with lots of family in South Dakota. The kids did pretty well the whole weekend. They played outside a ton with their cousins, and at a TON of junk food. It was so wonderful to see everyone and to catch up over a few days.
On Saturday, we took the kids to an outside water park - below are a few pictures:
Cutie pie Holly taking a little break from swimming
Myles also taking a quick break
Wow... those goggles sure are stylish! 
Mmmm... cookie time, and then back into the water!
Holly thought this little floating turtle was fun!
Myles LOVED this Lilly pad - the kids were all scrambling to get on it and then to tip over the Lilly pad. The poor life guard kept telling them to stop. But the older boys kept doing it, and Myles didn't seem to mind. Until he got pushed off, then he was upset. It is tough to hang with the older kids!
After the water park we changed, took a quick nap, and then back to Grandma's house for some family fun. Holly enjoyed this bubble wand. She plays with it again the next day as you'll see below.
This is my Uncle Tim - There is a running joke that his Rapper name is One Dolla. So Erik had a t-shirt made for him. It was really funny!
Patrick and Nicole enjoy some family time outside.
And here is Holly again with the bubble wand! This is from today - notice the cute 4th of July shirt she is wearing! Good thing I bought a $5 shirt for just one day. :)
The kids made some pretty pictures on the sidewalk in front of Grandma's house.
Here are some of the family members eating the 4th of July food. It is safe to say that enough calories were consumed over the course of 3 days that we don't need to eat for a week. Luckily we escaped for home without having to take anything back with us. It may not have been a healthy weekend, but it sure was yummy!
3 Generations - Me, my Grandma, and my Mom.
Erik and Tim take a break from the food - for only a minute! It is easy to re-charge the tummy!
My little 2nd cousin (Eden) - this pouty little lip was so cute I had to take a picture!
So we watched this hot dog eating contest on t.v., and it inspired my cousin Andy to have a one man challenge with a piece of chocolate cake. Can you guess who won?
Myles and Lily - they played very well all weekend.
Stacey and Andrea - can you tell that we just gorged on tons of picnic food?
One last cute picture of us before we took off to head back home.
We had to fill up with gas, so the kids were being silly in the car. Good chance for a picture!
