Pit Stop #1 - The Cousin Crew

Be still my heart... when these cousins get together, fun times are inevitable.  Plus Grandma Jane was in SD at the same time, so that was an extra bonus!


Lots of time was spent swimming - first at the neighborhood pool.




This one didn't feel like swimming, so she hung with the adults and played games.


Swimming continued later in the week at Midco Aquatics Center with the cousin crew and Halle. 


They had a blast playing in the pool, but all of them really enjoyed the diving boards best.




After Midco, the crew headed over to Thunder Road Amusement Center.  


They played games...




Rode the bumper cars...




Experienced the 7D movie theater...


And did a little bowling....




There were quiet moments of reading together...



Playing games and just hanging out...



The kids went to Air Madness one day to get out the wiggles and bounce around.




Some real fights took place...




Along with this monkey who LOVES to climb...


A certain someone celebrated her 4th birthday while we were in SD.  
She celebrated with a few Pupcakes. 



Lots of big changes took place at the Kempers this summer.  They moved in to a beautiful new house and added another child, Jalaina, to their family.  We were thrilled to be there when Jalaina joined their family, and were equally thrilled that she warmed up to everyone very quickly.




Saying goodbye to the cousins is never a fun thing.  It's always hard for the party to end.  But as they say, all good things must come to an end.... until Christmas!  We had the very best time with them and are so thankful and blessed to have created so many amazing memories.  

Next Stop - The Badlands and the Black Hills!
