Hangin with Cousin Jack

We had a fun week and weekend hanging out with Aunt Kristen and Cousin Jack. They flew down to Richmond for 5 days and we did lots of fun things with the kids. Bill was out of town so it was very nice to have some company while he was away. We started cocktail hour around 4:30 every day which made the end of the day go by a lot quicker!

During the week, we took the kids to water play at the Children's Museum, went to the pool and park, visited the butterfly exhibit at Lewis Ginter, and did the water play at Lewis Ginter. Madelyn and Jack had a great time together. The honeymoon ended on Day 3 so we had to referee some fights, especially over the stroller, baby doll, tea set, and shopping cart. Overall, they are best buds and played awesome together!

On Saturday, we had some friends over for a cook-out. It was beautiful weather and we were able to have everything outside with yard games, pools for the kids, and lots of food!

Jack spent two hours eating at the picnic table. He was obsessed with Kelly Connor's corn dip! Madelyn and Adeline playing together in the house!
