Cousin Cast

The calendar occasion was spring break, although, the weather certainly did not behave like spring!  We experienced some cold and a bit of snow, but the kids had a blast just the same.  The boys' childcare center was closed, so we headed west to hang out with the cousins for a couple of days.

All 9 grandchildren were there at Grandma and Grandpa's.  Age range is 12 years to 8 months.  Childcare providers for the day: myself and Grandpa.  Let's just say Grandpa may have been a bit in denial about the amount of work 9 little bodies can create!  It was a good thing that nap time happened for the three little ones, because lunch time brought a crescendo of meltdowns!

Finally when the thought crossed our mind to photograph the clan, well, the older boys had already departed for the day.  So, here is 7 out of 9 kiddos.  We promise to do better next time!  Thanks sis for snapping this shot at the end of our day!  (Note: Unhappy baby is a must for every family photo, and next time, I will make sure my animated hand is not in the photo!  But on the bright side: everyone looked at the camera!)
